In our public library I came across the New York Review of Books, issue dated 23 December 2010. It carries a well-written and thoughtful article by recently-deceased Tony Judt: The Glory of the Rails. For the time being, you may read this article on the magazine's website for free, link here:

Articles in the New York Review of Books sometimes move to archives behind a pay wall, so this link might be useful for a only a week or so. The magazine will print a second part of the article in the next issue. Mr. Judt has often written of his appreciation of railways. He grew up in or near London, but he taught also in the States.
