Reviews
Shaughnessy is an artist...capable of achieving a shining lineation reminiscent of fine-point engraving and of rendering roiling masses of steam and smoke as charged as a running dog in a futurist painting, of dignified stillness and enveloping motion. Appearing on full pages of this oversize volume, his pictures are engrossing, stunning masterpieces of photodocumentation.

  • A skilled railroad photographer's artistry captures the American experience

    There are many distinguished photographers who have brought the railroad industry to us over the last 100 years. Jim Schaunessey is among the very best and The Call of Trains brings his skills to us. His photos capture the complexity, fascination and grittiness of the business in beautifully composed and technically excellent images. Early photos, especially of the passenger era really exude the feel of American life as well as the thrill of the mechanical monsters and their part in the American landscape. All photos have great expertly written captions that only make the photos better. Great book. The copy I bought is in excellent condition and will be on our coffee table for some time. The merchant was very responsive and patiently helped me through a cascade of glitches that started ...

  • The Call of Trains

    I had seen this book at a prior date, and was highly impressed with it. It was to be a "perfect" gift for a member of my family. Thus, it was my decision to purchase it. The price was attractive, and the service was great.
