Named one of the "75 People You Should Know" by Trains Magazine, Jim McClellan was a railroading legend and one of the railroad industry’s titans. An iconic and innovative executive, McClellan participated in the creation of both Amtrak and Conrail and worked for the Norfolk Southern, the New York Central, US Railway Association, and the Federal Railroad Administration. My Life with Trains combines a world-class photographer’s love of railroading with the insights of a government and railroad official. The book provides a short historical overview of the changes in the industry, recounts McClellan’s experience at various railroads, and offers personal reflections on a lifetime of working with and chasing trains. Expertly detailed with over 250 stunning color photographs, My Life with Trains covers sixty years as observed by a legendary railroad strategist.

Jim McClellan was a veteran of the railroad industry.
"
Jim's recollection of events and the people―the human as well as organizational tensions―is well balanced and accurate. If you are interested in railroad economics and leadership issues, this book should be in your library. Jim McClellan's memoirs provide a series of valuable history lessons, not just for us older folks, but also for those who face the next 30 to 40 years of uncertainty and opportunity.
" (Railway Age)"We’ve seen a lot of railroading’s giants pass in recent years, but I can’t recall anyone who triggered the kind of deep, emotional response accorded Jim.... We’ll learn more about him in May 2017 when Indiana University Press releases his book, My Life with Trains."
(Classic Trains)"The personal observations of a life-long railroader combined with dozens of color photographs make for great railfan reading."
(S Gaugian)"
McClellan covers his wide-ranging professional life, copiously illustrated with his own color photos... often taken from his privileged perch in either the locomotive cab or from the rear vestibule. McClellan has left us a vivid memoir of a railroad life well lived.
