{"product_id":"9781892689917","title":"Railroads of Southeast Iow","description":"Though early settlement in Iowa followed the rivers, it was the advent of the railroads, starting in the late 1850s, which opened up the remainder of the state for development -- bringing goods to residents and sending their crops and products out to the world. Railroads formed the backbone of middle America, with dozens of trains -- freight and passenger -- reaching out to nearly every small town in the region. This collection of photographs from the 1800s to the present day celebrates the railroads and railroaders of southeast Iowa.","brand":"P B L, Limited","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47052299075824,"sku":"9781892689917","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781892689917_p0.jpg?v=1763610221","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781892689917","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
