5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent book on Union Pacific golden age steam., February 5, 2001

(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Union Pacific Across Sherman Hill: Big Boys, Challengers, and Streamliners (Golden Years of Railroading) (Paperback)

This is a great book if you're a steam fan. It's covers all types of motive power used by Union Pacific during the late 40s and 50s, 4-8-8-4 Big Boys, Challengers, Northerns and so on. All the photos are black and white, but are high quality with detailed captions and chapter descriptions. This book would also be useful for anyone interested in modeling a railroad around this area or for UP steam in general. Another high-quality book from Kalmbach Publishing.
