“Few American chroniclers o the international railroad scene have shown the versatility and insight o
William D. Middleton. As an author and a photographer (not to mention a proessional engineer), hedemonstrated an uncanny ability to connect all the dots in railroading, rom all corners o the world.

It will take a generation or the breadth, depth, and signifcao his total contribution to be appreciated.“ —J. Parker Lamb, author o Railroads of Meridian (IUP, 20
