DUST JACKET INTRODUCTION:
Since the very beginning, the sounds of railroading ... from the lonesome wail of the locomotive pulling its consist across the prairie, down to the shrill cry of today's diesels as they approach the yards ... have caused palpitations in the hearts of those who have traveled on, worked on, or lived near a railroad; and that certainly must be millions of people.
All railroads seem to have appeal to rail fans, in a great many cases simply because they are railroads. But the Canadian Pacific Railway really has a unique personality. For instance, what other railroad powered its passenger trains with streamlined 2-10-4s? Ran freight trains with 4-6-2 Pacifics? And 4-6-4 Hudsons? Added a European touch to their streamlined passenger equipment with cars with curved sides? Has steamship lines, trucking lines and even airlines? From these interesting aspects down to the grey and Tuscan red colors with gold lettering, comes the message, "We are a dynamic company."
Author Patrick Dorin tells it all with pictures and text: the laying of the track, the bridges, the steam locomotives, the diesels, the motor trucks, the airlines and the branch lines, both in Canada and the United States.
A feast for the serious rail fan!
