Now you can be the human Wikipedia page of trains--from locomotives to rolling stock. No Great American road trip would be complete without seeing trains streaming across wild prairies and through thick forests. All kinds of diesel and even a few steam locomotives can be seen, with everything from boxy frontends to curving streamlined bodies. The containers, flat cars, and boxcars pulled by these locomotives carry diverse freight, and the variety of these cars is wide. Field Guide to Trains: Locomotives and Rolling Stock is the source for easy-to-digest information on locomotives and cars. Model railroaders will also find this book indispensible, as it offers myriad ideas for realistic train systems. The book is divided by diesel-electric locomotives, self-propelled passenger trains, passenger cars, freight cars, rail transit, and preserved equipment at museums and excursion steam locomotives. It also touches on historic diesels, vintage trams, maintenance trains, snowplow engines, and circus trains. Featuring North American and world examples of trains, Field Guide to Trains includes just about any type of locomotive and train car you are likely to see on the rails today, making this book the only available comprehensive guide to locomotives and rolling stock out there. Bring Field Guide to Trains: Locomotives and Rolling Stock along on family trips to see what rolls the rails as you're traveling. Make a game of how many locomotives and car types you can identify. Buy locomotives and certain car types for your model layout. This is simply the handiest field guide for families and railroad buffs that you'll ever find.

An activity book for kids who love trains! This Discovery Field Guide encourages kids to get out and explore and then process what they have seen. This journal makes a wonderful birthday gift or Christmas gift for any train lover! PLEASE NOTE: This workbook is a combination of a photo album and a journal, which any child can enjoy. It is not only for my friends on the autism spectrum, it's for any kid who loves trains! I created this field guide with my son in mind: he was diagnosed with autism at age 4. Like many kids on the autism spectrum, he can be hyper-focused on one particular topic, which, at the time he was diagnosed, was trains. I wanted to find something for him to do outside, something that would use his love of trains to spark his curiosity and expand his horizons. It was from this desire that the I Heart Trains Discovery Field Guide was born. The purpose of this Field Guide is to promote exploration and discovery outside of the usual routine, to expand upon an otherwise narrow interest in a topic, and to promote recall and verbalization. This is a great way for parents and grandparents to bond with their child through shared adventures. It can also be a helpful tool for your child's occupational therapist, speech therapist, or behavioral therapist. Book Contents: 35-8.5" x 11" photo/journal pages bound by a glossy, durable cover. Includes use instructions. Look for more topics in the I Heart Discovery Field Guide series to continue to spark your child's curiosity about the world.
