Locomotive by Brian Floca

'Locomotive' by Brian Floca is a book about at train ride back in

the old west or American Civil War era. It gives you a slice of life from back when the steam engine ruled the world. This is a great bedtime story told without characters that is mostly informative. 

In addition to the story at the end of the book there is a large section that gives a good deal of railroad history. It talks about Abraham Lincoln and his Transcontinental Rail Road. It answered a few questions I had like 'what happened to the golden railroad spikes?'

Who should read this book: People who like trains.
