Has anyone actually seen a bridge being built in America? This editor has travelled for almost 40 years in America without seeing a single one being constructed -- and few even being repaired. Some critics point out that America has built excellent bridges in Vietnam and Iraq which indicates that the knowledge base remains intact. Others say that individual states cannot feed their armies of bureaucrats and fund their plush pensions and health care programs and still expect to build bridges. And the federal government cannot be counted on for much of anything useful. This book presents recent reports focusing on this part of America's crumbling infrastructure.

Historians of midwestern railroading during the early part of the twentieth century have generally focused on the production of railroad company histories while ignoring the regional view. Fortunately for railway historians and buffs, coincidentally with the zenith of the Railway Age, the national fad for producing and mailing postcards was at its height. Millions of cards, including "real-photo" images, were produced between 1905 and 1915. Roger Grant has selected more than a hundred representative picture postcards to visualize the principal themes and characteristics that gave this dynamic industry its distinctive regional features. By the turn of the century, the railroad map of the Midwest was unequaled. Anyone who examined it carefully sensed that this was the vital center of America's massive network of steel rails. Depots erected in the western prairie environment were spartan, with only minor decoration, but those in the Midwest usually mirrored more ornate New England styles. These features are often reflected in the images in this heavily illustrated book, which depicts the spare but strong pioneering spirit of the enterprise.

We all have fantasies in our lives; George's fantasy was to build a great bridge somewhere in North America, high in the mountains, glistening in the sunlight. The bridge had to be an amalgam of iron, concrete, and stainless steel, and it had to be heavy enough to transport the biggest loads across some canyon or river. Then one day he got a chance to fulfill his fantasy—
