This is another Cape Ann Train reprint. This time in CD format. It must be loaded on the computer prior to use as it takes 3 disks for the 1536 pages. That it can be on more than one computer is a boon. This is my first reprint that includes the airlines. Finding the railway is just a click on the name. This brings up the first page for that railroad. Now a zoom comes into play. A great aid in reading the fine print or to enlarge the maps. Still it isn't a book to sit down with, open a page at random and discover a tid-bit of information that calls for more reasearch. For ease of use, I would give it at least 4 stars. That it isn't a "book" drops it to 2 but the purchase cost reduction bumps it up to 3. As in the previous isues, it includes the railways of Central America.
Unlike the 1910 reprint, this version should be available for years.… (más)
