The author’s many pictures depict the last great glories of the steam era as coal-fired locomotives were replaced by diesel engines in the 1940s and 1950s. His photos and yarns tell of the NP’s men and women as well as the steam engines, depots, diners, cabooses, sidings, years, shops, bridges and tunnels from throughout his 39-year NP career.
