Details:
Milk Trains and Traffic from Kalmbach, tells the story of how the railroads once moved milk to market. Milk was once an important commodity for the railroads. Before refrigeration became mainstream, high-speed delivery was critical. Trains carried butter, milk, and cheese from small-town collecting stations and creameries to production creameries in the big cities.
In Milk Trains and Traffic, explore how these creameries operated, how dairy products were processed, and how everything evolved over time. Understand all the aspects of milk and dairy traffic through the use of photography in the only book on the market dedicated to milk trains and operations. This book is a key source for railfans and rail historians, as well as modelers who want to add creameries or milk platforms to their layouts. Milk Trains and Traffic is one of many Kalmbach model railroading how-to books.
