Many train books focus on large parts of a train - engine, cars and caboose. Booth shares with the reader the details about trains - boxcars, labels, logos, and locations. He offers just a glimpse so the reader can take enjoy it as is or find more information about the different systems and locations. Today we wait at crossings more than we ride trains, so this would be an excellent book to share with youngsters.
Bagram Ibatoulline gives new life to text Booth's 1953 "Crossing" from Letter From a Distant Land. Ibatoulline designs are copyright from 2001 (when the book was published), but displays the life in the 1950's. The gouache is amazing to see. If you're not a train enthusiast, read it for the pictures. If you are a train enthusiast, read it for the glimpse of a train crossing.
