Seller's Description:
New. Straight from the Union Pacific Museum Archives, this book illustrates the very best camera work of UP company photographers. Many of these photographs have remained unseen for over 50 years. The railroads photographic staff sought unusual scenic locations for remarkable views of the earliest UP stream-liners, the oldest and newest steam locomotives and the modern look of handsome diesel and gas-turbine cabs. The horizontal format combined with large images (usually one per page) of steam, turbines and passenger units make this a great book especially for the model railroader. Hardcover with jacket, 128 pages, standard landscape size, Color images with captions.
