Photo similarities

About the Stefan Lorant book, there were two printings in October and November of 1964.  By the 70's, that was a difficult book to find.  There was a revised and enlarged Bicentennial Edition in 1975 of 25,000 copies with a 2nd and 3rd printing of 10,000 each.

	Have that - second printing Nov--1964 - not overly enameled with it but
there are some nice rail related photos.

	Is this still available?  Sounds fascinating from your description.
