ABOUT
This engaging book examines the role of the railway station around the world, revealing a microcosm more complex and fascinating than anything our nineteenth-century forebears could have dreamed of.
The authors chart the changing styles in the construction and decoration of the station, from the somber grandeur of St. Pancras in London to the humbler delights of country stations in the American Midwest. As the book shows, the various facilities offered by the station have assumed as much importance as the building itself: the ticket office and the waiting room have become as familiar as the trains.
Stations also have had a part to play in politics and the economy, especially in wartime, and governments throughout the world have long recognized their strategic significance.
Illustrated with monochrome images and illustrations.
