Book follows Volume 1 and looks at the final decade of the Northern Pacific from 1960 until the merger with the Burlington Northern in March 1970. While the decade saw major reductions in passenger service, the NP continued to provide a constant level of service, especially on the mainline. Many things affected the work force and, overall, there was constant decline in its size. New freight car designs were developed and by the 1960’s were used widely. Book follows these transitions in full color photos with descriptions.
