Editorial Reviews

Review
But those who are truly interested in Western railroads will need only a glance at the book to know that they can't live without it. -- Dan Hays, Statesman Journal, Salem, OR, January 7, 1996

This isn't for casual train buffs, but for the rail fanatic, it's a gold mine. Volume III covers and focuses on Oregon and Washington, including nearly 500 names in an indexed reference book documenting electric, steam, diesel and logging company histories and operations alike. The emphasis on rail development provides a strong history while the listings of over 2,000 locomotives with builder, construction number and weight make for an excellent reference for avid buffs. -- Midwest Book Review

Product Description
Volume III in Robertson's Encyclopedia of Western Railroad History series. This book catalogs virtually every railroad that owned or operated ten or more miles of track as a common carrier in Oregon and Washington. Text, maps, charts, and historic photographs create an invaluable resource for railroad history students and enthusiasts.

3.0 out of 5 stars Packed with facts., April 21, 2000
By A Customer
This book is a great resource for finding facts of fallen northwestern shortlines and predecessor railroads. I have found the facts to be mostly accurate, though they do not always match to some of the more well-read books about the larger railroads in the region. The biggest complaint is that it is visually unappealing, and could be a little more 'polished': no color pictures, and fairly few black and white pictures. Still, it is packed with charts, graphs and valuable company stats and info.
