Interesting and informative,
By A Customer
This review is from: Great Northern Railway 1945-1970 Photo Archive Volume 2 (Paperback)
"Great Northern Railway: 1945-1970 Photo Archive Vol. 2" is an interesting and informative photographic portrait of the Great Northern Railway.Like the first volume, this new one--also edited and Introduced by Byron D. Olsen--has black & white photos from the Great Northern archives and from Hedrich Blessings Studios, which worked for Great Northern. The quality of the pictures is mixed, and that's to be expected, I suppose. But there are some commendable photographs here. Just to name a few: There's the sleek Red River crossing Minnesota's Stone Arch Bridge in 1961; a pair of three-decade year-old FTA units at Minneapolis Junction in 1962; an ore vessel being loaded with mined minerals at the Great Northern docks; and an engineer's snowy view from the Stone Arch Bridge in 1969. Midwestern train buffs will certainly want to add this volume to their libraries.
