White River Productions, hardcover with jacket, 464 pages, 8.5 x 11 x 1.5 in., B&W and Color photographs and illustrations, maps, locomotive rosters.

This book was a massive project by the author and includes B&W photographs from the early days, Color photographs from the later days and color maps to help tell the story of Georgia-Pacific and its railroads.

ForestRails is a story of railroads and the role they played in the growth of Georgia-Pacific, a major forest products company. From the early beginnings, railroads have been absolutely essential in the delivery of raw materials and shipment of finished products of the forests.

Such was the case with Georgia-Pacific's railroads. Just as man does not live on bread alone, railroads could not survive without freight to haul. Thus it is necessary for this story to also tell the parallel stories of G-P's acquisitions that included the railroads.

This story is an important part of American business history. By 1900 lumbermen had recognized the efficiency of a steel wheel on a steel rail and the number of logging railroads grew rapidly. The coming of the railroads freed lumbermen from being tied to the riverbanks and dependency on weather conditions.

Railroad logging could be operated year-round with little or no interruptions from the weather. Railroads also made large areas of timber accessible that could not have been logged before. G-P's acquisitions have included 16 common-carrier short line railroads and five major private logging operations.

Each short line was a separate subsidiary company of Georgia-Pacific. Although governed by boards of directors, the short lines were separately operated at arms-length due to government regulations. The author does not purport to analyze the financial and economic aspects of the Georgia-Pacific railroads.

Although the railroads were profitable, it would be impossible to quantify the precise economic benefit of the railroads to G-P from financial statements alone. Instead, the operational characteristics of the railroads and, more importantly, their vital support of the logistics processes of the company; mills, plants, and distribution systems are explored in depth.

To be included in this story, a railroad must have been owned or operated by G-P at some time during its existence. The history of each railroad is then told from its beginning. Certain unique and creative arrangements for preserving rail service at mills on non-company railroads are also discussed.

The contents page of this book is missing page numbers for some of the chapters. A corrected, but separate, title page is included which shows the page numbers.Hardcover, 132 pages, 8.5 x 11 in., B&W photographsThere haven't been too many books published regarding the hard-working men of the railroad maintenance-of-way work and life.

This is a good title regarding the life and times from a southwest US and Santa Fe experience.Naylor, a track maintenance and construction supervisor for the Santa Fe Railway in New Mexico from 1921 to 1961, upon his death left a fascinating story of his time with the railway. He was an on-the-ground eyewitness to many of the changes on the Santa Fe, making this book a time capsule for both early railroading and life in New Mexico.

His narrative provides rare glimpses into the hard life of a railroad track gang working as well as his difficulties as a supervisor and married man with family responsibilities.Naylor is humorous, fair, helpful to others, and always candid, revealing both his greatest fears (snakes) and personal pleasures, which ranged from fishing to gardening.

Naylor's book adds descriptions of places that are now railroad ghost towns as well as the effort involved in getting to and from such locations prior to convenient, more modern transport. Forty Years on the Santa Fe Railroad will transport the reader to a refreshing different time and place. The book concludes with an afterword by Bob Walz on modeling maintenance of way operations.

Over the past two decades, author John Ham has produced several books about the New York Central Railroad in New York State. His most recent publication was the book about the Central's Main Line entitled From Grand Central to Albany.This title continues the tour of the New York Central main line, continuing west from Albany and Schenect­ady along the scenic Mohawk River Valley to Syracuse and on through the fertile farmlands of central New York to Rochester and finally, Buffalo.The focus of this book is on the New York Central's "Glory Years" using a multitude of fine steam and early diesel photographs taken along the Water Level Route by some of the most noted rail photographers of the 20th Century.

Using their original negatives and prints, they have been graciously loaned to the author by dif­ferent Historical Societies and collectors.This 384-page volume contains not only superb New York Central photos, but images of the Central's Branch Lines, other connecting railroads and industries that were served by the Central in one capacity or another.

There are more than 650 images between the covers. We hope you will take this journey along the sce­nic Mohawk Valley with us and enjoy it as much as we have while researching and assembling this book.
