"Open Top Load" is the term given to the carriage of products or commodities on flatcars or gondolas. These products usually fit into two categories: 1) they are too large or bulky to fit into boxcars and/or 2) they are loose inexpensive material not suitable for a hopper car.

These titles feature large color photos of flatcars and gondolas with such loads, mostly recorded in the 1960s to the 1980s. The volumes are differentiated by the product or commodity carried, each which carry different AAR requirements for bracing, banding or other special instructions.

Volume 4 includes: Scrap Metal, Structural Steel, Tanks and Boiler Shells, Prefabricated Track and Switches, Transformers, Trucks, Wallboard and Plywood, Wheels, Wrecked Railroad Carbodies, and miscellaneous loads.and miscellaneous loads.

In 1961, Vern Estes designed the first Estes model rocket packaged for sale as a complete kit: the Astron Scout™. Before launching the Astron Scout, Vern Estes created a never-before-seen prototype.

This prototype, named the Orange Bullet, used metal weights glued to the end of the fin tips to shift the center of gravity (CG) back after the engine popped out at apogee, resulting in the rocket tumbling gently instead of streamlining in nose first.

While the design functioned, Vern and fellow rocketeer G. Harry Stine decided they could achieve the same thing without ejecting the engine. In a later version that became the classic Astron Scout, they used the weight of the rocket engine itself to shift the CG backwards. Orange bullet sold tens of thousands of kits over its long lifetime and inspired countless young people to pursue technical careers.

Sixty years later, Bill Stine, G. Harry Stine's son and former Estes Vice President decided it was time for the Orange Bullet rocket to take flight. Estes' first rocket in the Designer Signature Series and the first complete kit Vern Estes ever designed, the Orange Bullet.

Otto Perry and the Union Pacific Nebraska Division by Michael M. Bartels and James J. Reisdorff. This book features the best photo work of the late and well-known railroad photographer, Otto C. Perry from Denver, as they relate to Perry's travels over a 30-year period along the former Nebraska Division of the Union Pacific Railroad.

This main line division extended from Council Bluffs, Iowa, across portions of Nebraska and Colorado, to Cheyenne, Wyoming. Ninety-two black-and-white illustrations from the years 1925-1958 include the last of steam, early diesels and classic streamliners along the Overland Route. This title, published in cooperation with the Great Plains Chapter of the National Railway Historical Society, also seeks to help promote the construction of a railroad viewing platform at Grand Island, Nebraska.

Over Homestake Pass on The Butte Short Line: The Construction Era 1888-1929.In the 1880s the Northern Pacific Railroad's management decided to bypass Butte, Montana, in favor of a main line through Helena 40 miles to the north.

At that time the mining region around Helena appeared to be a more lucrative source of traffic and offered a lower crossing of the continental divide after the completion of the Mullan Tunnel. Within three years, however, that situation changed as Butte began its conversion to a copper center, becoming known as the 'Richest Hill on Earth.' In 1886 the NP began a decade-long struggle to find a satisfactory route into Butte'first from Garrison, then from Helena, and finally from Logan over Homestake Pass.

The Butte Short Line is a history of that effort.The book chronicles surveys, agreements, and conflicts with the Union Pacific concerning rights-of-way in Jefferson Canyon, the Utah & Northern and the Montana Union.

It examines problems with Mullan Tunnel, the abortive Helena, Boulder Valley & Butte, and the competition provided by Hill's Montana Central. It discusses the role the Rocky Fork & Cooke City coal development played in the final route selection and the formation of the Northern Pacific & Montana.

It examines political intrigue during the time of Montana statehood. It details construction of the road and early operations.Construction documents as well as newspaper accounts of the day tell the stories of hold ups, wrecks, and election fraud through the words of those who lived them.

Read about violence on the Jefferson River, a little known mile-long spur at Welch, the shooting of Frank Clow, and the wreck of #2. Over 120 photos from the collections of F.J. Haynes, the Jefferson County Historical Museum, R.V.

5 x 11 in., B&W photographs and illustrations. The Georgetown, Breckenridge and Leadville Railway was incorporated in 1880 to merge with Colorado Central Railroad, build west to the mining camps in the Colorado mountains, connect with Denver, South Park and Pacific, and compete with the larger Denver & Rio Grande.

Built in 1883, the Loop was an engineering marvel of the day, solving the problem of linking the towns of Silver Plume and Georgetown (only two miles apart), but with more than 600 feet in elevation difference. The Loop was more than 4.6 miles of track, including two hairpin turns and a viaduct where the route looped 100 feet over itself within the narrow mountain valley.

This allowed the railroad grade to be traversed by conventional trains. In addition to serving the mines, the line proved a popular tourist destination. Indeed, the rebuilt Loop has hosted tens of thousands of riders each year since 1974. This new book details the history of the line until its abandonment in 1938.

Southern California's history and economic development were closely aligned with the Pacific Electric Railway, organized 1901-1902 by Henry Huntington and carried on by a new corporation after 1911 of the same name, owned by the Southern Pacific Railroad.

This book addresses the period from 1911 to 1953 of the "new" Pacific Electric Railway that operated electric-powered passenger and freight trains in southern California. The co-authors had access to extensive photograph files illustrating Pacific Electric cars and their operating environment and selected the best for use in this book.

Two major goals of this book is to illustrate all of the major classes of cars and locomotives operated by the Pacific Electric after 1911 and to provide detailed, informative picture captions that can both stand on their own and also provide the seeds for future research.

Henry Edward Huntington's impact on the public transportation system of Southern California was far reaching. His Pacific Electric red interurban went everywhere. That is except for the western portions of Los Angeles county where Moses Sherman's and E.

P. Clark's 180-mile Los Angeles Pacific Railroad dominated. By 1903, Huntington and the Southern Pacific controlled by Edward H.

Harriman had become partners in the Pacific Electric. During March 1906, Harriman negotiated with Sherman and Clark, for control of their railway. In the meantime Huntington operating on his own acquired the narrow-gauge Los Angeles and Redondo Railway.

It had 89 miles of track, including 3 lines to Redondo Beach. Harriman always had in his mind the merging of the Pacific Electric with the Los Angeles Pacific Railroad, thus forming a huge interurban empire.

R.S. Lovett, Harriman's successor at Southern Pacific negotiated the sale of Huntington's interest in Pacific Electric to Southern Pacific by November of 1910 for an undisclosed sum. Once the Southern Pacific had control of the Pacific Electric, the Los Angeles Pacific Railroad was merged into the Pacific Electric, thus becoming the Western Division of the Pacific Electric.

You can build detailed railroad models! Scott Lupia shares more than 30 years of custom model building experience in this collection of classic articles from the pages of Railroad Model Craftsman, along with all-new content.

You'll find expert tips on kit-bashing, detailing, paints and tools, and weathering. Get inspired with a colorful mix of freight and passenger diesels, steam engines, caboose kit-bashing projects, and more! Scott's involvement in model railroading began in the early 1980s when he was given an N scale train set by a family friend.

As a locomotive engineer for NJ Transit, he enjoys running trains on many of the same lines that his family members worked on. In addition to his railroad career, Scott is also the owner of KV Models, LLC, a manufacturer offering etched metal detail parts.

He also served as part-time associate editor of Railroad Model Craftsman in 2013 and 2014.
