America's Rail Pictorial
Featuring 362 all-color photographs of steam, diesel, freight and passenger trains from the 1940s, 50s, 60s and 70s, this hardbound 152-page book covers 37 different rail lines across the country. It focuses on large and small railroads, including Santa Fe, B&O, CB&Q, C&O, CN, CP, E-L, GM&O, GN, GTW, IC, NKP, NYC, N&NW, Pennsy, RI, Soo, UP and Wabash among others.
To pioneers of the late nineteenth century, timber was as good as gold, and one of the biggest logging "shows" in the Pacific Northwest began when Alex Polson came onto the scene in the 1900s. Polson Brothers Logging Company eventually became part of ITT Rayonier, a company that rostered a variety of steam-powered logging equipment. This is the story of Rayonier's logging-railroading operations, featuring numerous photos and a complete steam and diesel locomotive roster.
This hardbound book details steam at its height, when trains ran daily out of Railroad Camp near Hoquiam, Washington, and through the treacherous Clallam Branch, near the Strait of Juan de Fuca. The Rayonier logging story is told in text, train crew stories that "tell it like it was," and 233 black and white action and roster shots of men and equipment.
