| At its peak,
Council Bluffs, Iowa, was served by eight major railroads, making
it the fifth-largest rail center in the United States. Trains
of Council Bluffs and Omaha documents the dramatic impact that
new technology had on the railroads serving these two Midwestern
cities in the mid-20th century. It was a time when diesels replaced
steam power, and streamlined passenger train travel reached its
zenith. Railroad enthusiasts Carl Hehl and Art Zimmerla, who photographed
the great transition, have the best of their color photography
presented in this testimony to an era that forever changed an
iconic American industry. |
