Book tells the story of the development and operation of the NP’s most powerful and advanced steam locomotives. Making extensive use of corporate records of the railroad, as well as interview s, the authors document the life of the Northern Pacific’s trend-setting 4-8-4, 2-8-8-4 and 4-6-6-4 locomotives. Illustrated in color and black/white photos with descriptions it’s a great history of this steam locomotive era.
