DUST JACKET INTRODUCTION:
About the Book
It's been seven years since the Western Pacific Railroad lost its independence by merger into the Union Pacific system. Though all who knew the WP mourned its loss, most knew that had the tiny transcontinental been left to its own devices, it would have eventually been forced into some kind of bankruptcy-a fate too many great railroads experienced during the 1980s. But the WP lives on, in the memories and photographs of those who experienced it.
The Feather River Route is not meant to be an all-encompassing historic volume (though you will find much history), nor a technical treatise on motive power and rolling stock (though much of the railroad's hardware is presented). It is meant to convey the feeling of the railroad ... the relationship between people and machines, and the battle they waged against nature and economic setbacks to keep the trains running.
For Western Pacific fans, this is THE two-volume set!
