Why read it?
1 author picked All Aboard With E.M. Frimbo as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Sadly, much of Mr. Frimbo’s train world no longer exists, at least in the United States, but this book—a collection of delightful essays from train journeys—is a fitting legacy to a departed rail network.

From Matthew's list on The best books to read to get inspired to ride a train.
