Description:
Canadian Caboose Press. Softcover. New. Narrow Gauge Railway Scenes is a collection of over 400 photographs taken by some very gifted photographers along some very interesting lines. The variety of photographs is staggering, everything from classic railroad photographs you'd expect to see to the unusual such as night scenes at a depot to cab-view scenes from a Rio Grande Galloping Goose. For the logging fan there's some great shots of the West Side Lumber Company and Michigan-Cal, and for something completely different there are some great shots of Ward Kimball's backyard, 'er, layout. (One shot even shows Walt Disney at the throttle!) Of course, fans of the Colorado narrow gauge circle will not be disappointed! Author Adolph Hungry Wolf has done a great job of collecting some really spectacular shots, everything from awe-inspiring canyon shots to compelling detail shots such as a lokie taking on water (shot from the water tower!) and plenty of shop scenes with all kinds of treasures scattered…

Description:
Canadian Caboose Press. Hardcover. New. Route of the Cariboo: Pacific Great Eastern - British Columbia Rail This title is now outdated as it was published in 1994. The history and the photographs are still relevant today, though. Route of the Cariboo presents railroading in one of North America's most scenic and rugged regions. The Pacific Great Eastern Railway was incorporated in 1912 to serve a sparsely populated wilderness whose natural resources were expected to sustain train traffic. For many years afterwards, the line operated at a loss and was several times threatened with abandonment, its two disconnected segments taken over by the provincial government and its initials - PGE - jokingly was said to mean the ""Province's Great Elephant."" Today's modern BC Rail system covers over 1,200 miles and barely resembles the old PGE operation, although the fantastic scenery is still there. Tourists come from around the world to enjoy it, travelling on BC Rail's efficient Rail Diesel Cars or aboard the…

Description:
Canadian Caboose Press, 2012. Hardcover. New. Hardcover with jacket, 320 pages, 11.25 x 8.75 x 1 in., B&W and Color photographs and illustrations. The 1990s was a twilight era for Cuba's fascinating old transportation system. Trains hauled by century-old American steam locomotives met Model A Fords and wooden stations as if it were the 1920s. Horse-drawn carriages passed colonial architecture in towns and cities, with ox teams doing heavier work in scenic countryside's. Wooden Brill interurban trains still carried passengers while General Electric steeple cabs hauled freight between Havana and Matanzas, just as they did when chocolate maker Hershey bought them new in 1920. The author spent 18 months over several years documenting this transportation time-warp from one end of the island to the other. Although Cuba has been modernizing its transportation system, most of the old American cars and locomotives seen in this book are being preserved as 'National Patrimony' and should be available for…
