Author Name: Warren Wing
Title: A Northwest Rail Pictorial Volume III
Seller ID: OSO108
Truly a Pacific Northwest treasure, Warren Wing is a tremendous source of information and inspiration to those interested in the early days of railroading. A Northwest Rail Pictorial Volume III picks up where volumes I and II left off, featuring incredible photography and informative captions. Covering Oregon, British Columbia, Montana, and especially the Puget Sound area, Warren takes us back to a day when steam locomotives thundered through the middle of towns and interurban lines were the only highways around. You'll see the big carriers--the Northern Pacific, Union Pacific, Canadian Pacific, Great Northern, Milwaukee Road, and the Seattle, Portland, and Spokane. You'll also see some great shots of lesser-known bygone lines such as the Hartford & Eastern, Seattle Lakeshore & Eastern, Bellingham Bay & British Columbia, Pacific Great Eastern, Spokane International, and Butte Anaconda & Pacific. In addition, Warren devotes entire chapters to railroad logging, the rugged Cascade Mountain passes, and the juice lines--electric interurbans and streetcars. Whether you're a railroad enthusiast or simply interested in some wonderful photographs from earlier days...you'll love this book!
