Feather River Canyon Union Pacific’s Heart of Stone Steve Schmollinger HardCover
Feather River Canyon Union Pacifics Heart of Stone by Steve Schmollinger
Hard cover with dust jacket
Copyright 1996
104 Pages
Through the work of several photographers, THE FEATHER RIVER CANYON: UNION PACIFIC'S HEART OF STONE shows us the magnificence of the canyon's scenery while also giving us an appreciation for the rigors of running double-stack, piggyback, autorack, unit grain, and other trains through its bowels fast enough to stay competitive. We see trains in the days when Western Pacific still owned the line, including WP's sleek and elegant passenger flagship, the California Zephyr, as well as the big, high-tech locomotives UP uses today.
We're also treated to diesels of the Chicago & North Western, a mid-western railroad UP recently merged into its system. The text recounts the line's origin and maintenance, describes operating a long, beautiful Domeliner through the canyon in 1994, and delineates the canyon's many moods.
This is a book that can be savored over and over!
