Dave Hewitt has made many trips to North America over the last twenty years, including visits to thirty-five of the fifty US states. Inspired by American railways, he quickly switched from tourist to train and track photographer. In this book he shares images from more than twenty steam and heritage railway sites and museums from across the continent. These pages document his journey from the deserts of Utah to the magnificence of the Canadian Rockies, from the green fields of Wisconsin to the towering Giant Redwoods of California.
