Interesting facts are the only good thing going for this book. I love trains/railroads and I am from Michigan, but wow did I have an incredibly hard time focusing on this book. Every paragraph felt like it jumped decades in time, with the following paragraph then detailing more facts that happened before the end of the previous paragraph, which would then cover decades worth of events. The cadence made reading difficult to enjoy, and the way in which it was written was not easily enjoyed.
