Hello,
I am a new member, railroad enthusiast from Italy.
I'd like to add here this title:
Hotel-Train
isbn 9788831474122
It deals with the design of a new type of night train, which mixes rail and hotel features.
The new train proposed in this book looks much more comfortable and pleasant than the current one, so much so that it can be used for longer trips, even during the day (for example, there is space for personal work on board).
The coaches contain a long list of new elements and spaces, never before seen on trains. It might seem impossible to put all these things on a train while maintaining acceptable fares; however, there is also a basic business plan in the book, and it all seems to work. This is referring to Europe, but in America it should be quite similar - or even better, because if I am not mistaken your size limits are larger and therefore there should be more interior space available.
Some bookstores in the world are: Barnes&Noble, Blackwell's, Books A Million, Booktopia, Bücher Dörner, Fishpond, Knygos, Mighty Ape, PB Shop, Saxo and others.
I must say that I am the author of this book
I hope I have not violated the forum rules (if so I am sorry, please notify me).
If anyone is interested in learning more or getting a preview, please let me know.
Thank you!
Flavio
