Guys,

Just finished reading Wolmar’s ‘Fire and Steam’ and got to wondering (as one does) if a similar book exists that details the growth of the American Railroad in a similar vein.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Well... as noone seemed to be able to answer this for me I've done some digging around, for anyone thats interested September 09 see the publication of 'Blood, Iron and Gold' by Christian Wolmar and although not quite what what I had in mind looks like it might be a stonking good read.
