Sumpter Valley Railway
ISBN: 9781531646714 / Angielski / Twarda / 130 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) In July 1890, David Eccles and Charles Nibley chartered the Sumpter Valley Railway and changed the social and physical landscape of Eastern Oregon forever. The Sumpter Valley Railway and its parent company, the Oregon Lumber Company, became an economic engine that shaped the lives of generations of Eastern Oregonians. The rails stretched from Baker to Prairie City, Sumpter to Susanville, and laced ribbons of steel through the Powder River Valley and Elkhorns. This photographic history is a view into the life and times of a varied, interesting, and living railroad that was instrumental in the...

North Beach Peninsula's IR&N
ISBN: 9781531646073 / Angielski / Twarda / 130 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) For nearly 40 years, the quirky little narrow-gauge railroad, begun in 1889 by the Ilwaco Railway and Navigation Company, ran along the North Beach Peninsula in southwestern Washington. The train provided the primary transportation link from Ilwaco in the south to Nahcotta in the north, making peninsula communities accessible to one another and supplying a reliable route to outside markets for the area's major industries--oystering, logging, and cranberry farming. A tide table, not a timetable, governed the railroad's schedule, allowing coordination with the steamers that met the train at...

Railroad Depots of Southern Indiana
ISBN: 9781531623586 / Angielski / Twarda / 130 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Did you know that Greene County in Indiana has one of the longest land-crossing railroad trestles in the Midwest? Are you aware that the Southern Railway once used half of the railroad tunnels in the state? Indiana's first railroad, built in Shelbyville, was only a mile long, but in 1847, completion of a major steam railroad from Madison to Indianapolis made the state's capital a center of transportation. Unlike canals, railroads could be built just about anywhere. Southern Indiana's quickly growing network of rail lines was able to haul tons of goods at low cost, and enabled settlers to...

Ocean Shore Railroad
ISBN: 9781531615697 / Angielski / Twarda / 130 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) With one of the world's most scenic backdrops as a brilliant seascape for passengers, the Ocean Shore Railroad skirted northern California's coastline to service communities south of San Francisco for the first two decades of the 20th century. As impressive as it was idealistic, the line was held prisoner by natural forces that eventually took too much of a toll to keep its striking route churning. Today's Highway 1 traces the passage once paved with tracks, and points to the few remnants of one of California's most well-known excursion lines.

San Francisco's Interurban to San Mateo
ISBN: 9781531616298 / Angielski / Twarda / 130 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) It's strange to think that an electric commuter rail line rivaling BART in efficiency, speed, and comfort ran over 100 years ago between San Francisco and San Mateo, but run it did. The 40 Line, or San Mateo Interurban, began in 1892 with an initial segment operating between Market and Steuart Streets out to the county limits on San Jose Avenue. Three years later, the line reached Baden in present-day South San Francisco, and by 1903 service was opened all the way to downtown San Mateo. During the line's heyday, there was talk of extending it down the peninsula from San Mateo to Palo Alto to...

Sacramento Northern Railway
ISBN: 9781531616656 / Angielski / Twarda / 130 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) The Sacramento Northern Railway was once a critical interurban link between California's northern Central Valley communities, the state capital, and the Bay Area. Running through orchards, farmland, swamps, and cities, this electric railway began its life in 1905. Service eventually ran from Chico to Oakland, but after the Bay Bridge opened in 1939, the 186-mile route started in San Francisco's Financial District, crossed the bridge on the lower deck, ran through Contra Costa County towns like Moraga, Lafayette, and Pittsburg, across the Suisun straits on the massive rail ferry Ramon (which...

Toledo Railroads
ISBN: 9781531619411 / Angielski / Twarda / 130 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) The advent of the railroad--a major mode of transportation and an important link to industry--forged the interworkings of a nation, and especially the City of Toledo due to its location on the harbor. In 1850, rail companies began moving in, and Toledo soon became a central connecting point for railroads, bridging the gap between cities like Chicago and Cleveland and Detroit and Cincinnati, making coal available to cities everywhere. Just after the turn of the 20th century, there were 20 different railroads servicing Toledo with four different main stations, providing employment for the town...

Wilmington and Western Railroad
ISBN: 9781531633752 / Angielski / Twarda / 130 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) The Wilmington and Western Railroad was chartered in 1867 and began to offer freight and passenger service in 1872 between Wilmington, Delaware, and Landenberg, Pennsylvania. Over the years, the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad branch faced increasing
financial difficulties, and by the 1960s, it had dwindled to a limited freight operation. At this time, a dedicated group of volunteers revived the railroad and incorporated their growing organization as Historic Red Clay Valley. The present-day Wilmington and Western Railroad owns 10.2 miles of the Landenberg Branch and operates between...

Smoke Over Oklahoma: The Railroad Photographs of Preston George
ISBN: 9780806155685 / Angielski / Twarda / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Oklahoma was in the throes of the Great Depression when Preston George acquired a cheap Kodak folding camera and took his first photographs of steam locomotives. As depression gave way to world war, George kept taking pictures, now with a Graflex camera that could capture moving trains. In this first book devoted solely to George s work, his black-and-white photographs constitute a striking visual documentary of steam-driven railroading in its brief but glorious heyday in the American Southwest. The pictures also form a remarkable artistic accomplishment in their own right. ...

Rails Around Helper
ISBN: 9781531629564 / Angielski / Twarda / 130 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) In 1880, the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad was hard-pressed to find a suitable rail route from Grand Junction to Salt Lake City. With the coal deposits of eastern Utah luring them on, railroad officials chose a difficult route over Soldier Summit. The railroad established the town where "helper" engines were attached to the heavy trains, and Helper grew into a division point with branch operations that reached into the nearby canyons to serve the blossoming coal industry. Numerous smaller towns sprang up to service the railroad, and in 1912, the newly incorporated Utah Railway laid tracks to...

It has seen some of the greatest achievements in the railways, most notably the "Flying Scotsman" becoming the first locomotive in the world to exceed 100mph in 1934, and the "Mallard" claiming the as-yet-unbroken world speed record for steam locomotives of 126mph in 1938. The East Coast Main Line not only made history by facilitating an ever-faster link between two capital cities, it also provided an international stage for Britain's...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) With roots dating back to 1851, the Illinois Central Railroad (IC) transported millions of passengers and countless tons of freight. Most trips were completed without incident. However, there were occasional mishaps, including derailments and collisions with other trains or highway vehicles. Most accidents were minor, while others made the national news, such as the October 30, 1972, collision of two commuter trains in Chicago that killed 45 passengers. The IC frequently had to deal with flooding, for the railroad ran in close proximity to several major rivers. In January and February 1937,...
