They do books on the histories of the various towns in the US and can sometimes be a source of photos of things of interest for those trying to model a specific place - the caveat of course being you never know prior to buying if they have what you are interested in. https://www.arcadiapublishing.com/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect in a large part it is a side effect of the fragmented nature of US railroads, nothing as simple as 1 railroad for most of modern history or 4 for a bunch of years prior.
