The first book to provide a historical overview and stunning photography of train stations on five continents: Europe, Africa, Asia and the Middle East, Australia and New Zealand, and The Americas!
A lot has happened in the world of railroads since the first train station opened in Darlington, England almost 200 years ago. Today's railroad station buildings are as wonderfully diverse as their locations, ranging from what G. K. Chesterton called "cathedrals of the Industrial Revolution" springing up along high-speed rail lines, to charming country stops that rarely see a passenger.

- Features nearly 80 train stations, describing the use of rail transit on each continent and the story of each station
- More than 250 color photographs that make these train stations worth a second look

Author Martin Welter spent his childhood and youth in Bebra and Hamm, Germany, and made frequent visits to the local steam locomotive depots. Later, he worked as an editorial assistant at Eisenbahn Magazin (Railway Magazine) and an editor at Eisenbahn Kurier, sharing his knowledge and love of trains and train stations.
Monumental or modest, these transportation hubs have great appeal because they signal the prospect of escaping from everyday life. Distant destinations are beckoning! A perfect book for armchair travelers.
Martin Weltner spent his childhood and youth in Bebra and Hamm, Germany, and made frequent visits to the local steam locomotive depots. He has been an editor at Eisenbahn Kurier and at GeraMond Verlag publications. Now retired, Martin writes about railways.
