    About this ebook

    A picture book about an old train station from a bygone era.

    The golden age of the railroad may have passed, but its legacy still fascinates us. Based on a song by the acclaimed musician Gordon Titcomb, The Last Train is a beautiful celebration of that bygone era. Titcomb's lyrics are matched by Wendell Minor's handsome, richly-detailed paintings.

    ALL ABOARD! "What a gorgeous tribute this is that preserves as it distills for future generations the life of a little railroad station."—Arlo Guthrie

      Beautifully illustrated celebration of a bygone era when trains were the way to travel.
    • 4/5
      This is a wonderful book that tells the story of the railway era and what progress has meant to trains. This is a beautiful book with lovely paintings to accompany each line of the song. I think this would be a good book just to read to children and have them think about earlier times.
