Editorial Reviews

Review

"Railroad buffs in particular will find ample material here for their interests; much of Oregon''s history was founded on those early tracks, and there are photos, timetables, routings, and advertising materials galore filling the pages of this book. The quality of the photos Mr. Culp has chosen is excellent, and their reproduction is sharp and clear; in addition, his information is fascinating and tells a great deal about the history of rail travel in Oregon from the time of the first Baldwin locomotive through the United Railways and Oregon Electric trains as well as the Portland interurban and streetcar service."—Marlene Y.
