"Before there was a Brian Cudahy or a Theodore Skull (great modern Transportation authors) there was a George H. Harlan and a George W. Hilton (legands of transportation authorship in the 1950s and 60s).
Before there were interstates and air shuttles there were railroads and night boats.
George W. Hilton's The Night Boat is a gorgeously told tale of a bygone time when people would take "the slow boat" between cities...traveling through the night in what now seems shocking luxury! This regional tribute to a grand and now gone institution is worth your time. A great read.
