Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)My nephew loves trains. Every week, his mother takes him for a round trip on the Sounder where he has made friends with the conductors and engineers. This book had several pages of photographs and description of the Sounder as well as several other commuter railroads that my nephew knows all about. He was delighted with the book and could hardly put it down. For myself, I would have liked more history and stories about each railroad, but my nephew couldn't have been happier.
