Contains more than 190 black and white photographs. Railroad Aficionado Lucius Beebe provides the reader with an enthusiastic account of the glory days of railroading and an informative history of the ever changing face of the iron horse in Highball: A Pageant of Trains. A very nice book for anyone who loves trains, collects books on trains, works with trains or just want to read about some wonderful past times about trains. Curiously, Beebe (1902-1966), Boston aristocrat, prankster, literary scholar, society columnist, lover of expensive clothes, haute cuisine, and exclusive clubs, was attracted not only to luxury express trains, but also to small and archaic branch lines.
