The Northern Pacific.

This beautiful book features an all-color tour of the entire Northern Pacific system from the Great Lakes to the Pacific Northwest. Steam locomotives, black and gold freight diesels, and the two-tone green North Coast Limited are all here. Since this is an all-color book, and since color photography did not become common until the 1950s, this book covers the last 25 years of the Northern Pacific's existence.

Beautiful scenery, well-maintained depots and facilities, color maps and large photographs make this a wonderful book. Chapters are arraigned based on NP's divisional alignment in 1953.
