Synopsis
This authoritative history of the 20th Century Limited from 1902 to its 1967 demise examines the train; its steam, electric, and diesel motive power; and its swank passenger cars, services, and amenities. The Century was a train of magnates and movie stars, with a red carpet rolled out for departure from Chicago to New York City. With the finest of food in the diner and a full array of amenities - barber, secretary, shower, maid - the 20th Century Limited set the standards against which all other passenger trains would be measured. This book tells the complete story of this extraordinary train, from its illustrious beginning in the days of opulent wooden cars through its demise in the era of passenger-train cutbacks that lead to the formation of Amtrak.

    THE BEST EBAY PURCHASE I'VE EVER HAD SHIPPING: Ridiculously fast! Received product just three days after ordering! PACKAGING: Expertly packaged! Eight books were bagged into two bundles, then the sealed bags were each wrapped in reusable heavy-duty bubble wrap, and those bundles were packed in a box with loose wrap! QUALITY: These books were better than as described, their condition surpassing those I already had in the series! VALUE: Incredible pricing! A+ Highest possible recommendation!

    I was happy to find this rare and out-of-print book on eBay. The book is all about the history of my hometown. It's condition is exactly as described/shown in photos. It was well-packaged and arrived in perfect condition. It was shipped promptly and arrived quickly via the USPS w/ tracking number. Very positive buying experience with this highly rated seller, whom I would definitely buy from again, and am happy to recommend to other buyers.

    Received in excellent condition. Looks unused. Well wrapped and protected. This is a great seller. I am very pleased. I have no idea how overseas shipping is worked outβ€”but it’s expensive. I don’t think it’s the seller[s fault.
