Railroad Legacy of the United States National Geographic 24x36 Wall Map Poster - NG Maps
Item #: NG-RE01020718
Bring your wall alive with the world's gold standard of wall maps! Hit the rails and hop on the trains of America, with this entry from the greatest cartographers on the globe, National Geographic. From the map collection you've seen in classrooms, libraries, offices, coffee shops, and other public places all your life - now own one for yourself!
National Geographic's Railroad Legacy Map of the United States illustrates the many ways railroads have impacted the nation and shaped people's daily lives. From the creation of time zones still used today to the contributions to the country's economic and industrial development, America's railroad legacy is interwoven with the growth of the United States in the 19th and 20th centuries and of the century to come.
The map portrays the routes of today's seven Class 1 (major) railroads, Amtrak's passenger routes, as well as those of the more than one hundred Class 1 railroads that ran in 1920 when five percent of the nation's work force—more than 2 million people—were employed by these lines. The map also highlights present-day and 1920 rail hubs along with text and illustrations of key events in America's railroad history such as the opening of New York City's Grand Central Terminal in 1913 and the last Class I line to employ steam locomotives in 1960. Notable sites such as tunnels, train spotting locations, and railroad museums are also included on this map.
This 24" x 36" edition is the perfect size - not too big, not too small - ideal for any wall of your choosing. Every lover of America's wondrous landscape and its legendary railways can use this piece as an accent to home, office, cottage, classroom, library, or other public facility. Make this yours!
