A very enjoyable book covering the Union Pacific RR in the
PacificNorthwest area. Well researched, and full of historic
information, outstanding B&W photographic work and
period track diagrams. Highly reccomended for anyone
interested in the UP or northwest railroading.

This review is from: Union Pacific Northwest: The Oregon-Washington Railroad & Navigation Company (Hardcover)

A prized piece in my collection of PNW railroad books, this is a well researched and sought after book that is a must have for any fan of the Union Pacific or PNW Railroads. Inside are many reproduced historical photos and documents relating the building of the Union Pacific in the northwest, including it's chief component, the Oregon-Washington Railway & Navigation Co. I also appreciated that many photos showing the reconstruction of the UP lines along the Columbia and Snake Rivers for various hydro-electric projects. Several photos by Ed Austin show the last day's of UP's branchline network before it was trimmed back and sold off to shortline operators. In the end it will be a invaluable resource you will go back to time and time again.
