Trains
About This Book
Rail travel has been part of human life for over two hundred years, and its influence on how people live, work, and move across the globe is hard to overstate. This encyclopedia follows that story from the earliest steam engines to today's cutting-edge magnetic levitation trains. The book opens with an introductory overview of the subject. Readers will also find a glossary to help with unfamiliar terms, a list of additional resources for further exploration, and an index for finding specific topics. The volume is aligned with Common Core Standards and correlated to state standards. It is part of the Early Encyclopedias imprint of Abdo Reference, a division of ABDO.
