This book explores eight railroads and subways that are lifelines for transportation in the U.S., but are overloaded and often falling apart. Whether its Boston’s T, Washington D.C.’s Metro, the crescent Corridor railroad route, or a Desert Line railroad running from the U.S. into Mexico, these pieces of infrastructure are very important to the entire country, but need emergency repairs and expansion right now.

America's Infrastructure Series

Infrastructure is something that we use every day, like roads, bridges, and railroads, but probably never think too much about. However, in the United States, many parts of the country’s infrastructure are old, falling apart, and in desperate need of repair and upgrading. Without infrastructure, access to clean drinking water, food, health care, communications systems, and housing would not be possible. Infrastructure provides the basis for these vital necessities.
