This book is intended to be an overview of the Pennsylvania Railroad west of Pittsburgh to St. Louis in the years 1960 to 1999 in words and photographs.Beginning with the PRR in the late 1960s to the low points of the Penn Central era and concluding with the break-up of Conrail in 1999 this is not a detailed venture into railroad administrative records but information is drawn from employee timetables, bulletin orders, train schedules and other railroad documents.

Merger discussions with the New York Central in 1962 focused on the elimination of duplicate routes. As the planners shaped the future railroad NYC routes in Ohio, Indiana and Illinois were favored over the routes of the Pennsylvania due to aspects of the physical plant such as gradient, curvature, signaling and terminal facilities.For many reasons the resulting Penn Central became the largest bankruptcy of an American corporation up until the filing on June 21, 1970.

Later Conrail was formed from the ashes of the Penn Central and included many other now bankrupt carriers. Conrail became a profitable railroad with government subsidies and the Staggers Act allowing railroads more freedom to rationalize their plant and more freight rate leeway. Here in Color photographs and text is the story of this route of the former Pennsylvania Railroad.

Union Pacific Steam Survivors examines the status of 52 still-extant UP steam locomotives. Most were either given to communities or museums. A few were retained by the railroad in its own corporate collection. During the 1950s, as American railroads were making the transition from steam to diesel power, Union Pacific's policy of good relations with its on-line communities was instrumental in the donation of many retired steam locomotives.

Museums, some of them off-line, were also recipients. These steam survivors, while in some instances limited to only one or two extant examples of certain types, are well diversified. They range in size from small switch engines to that of the world's largest steam locomotives - the Big Boys. What makes Union Pacific unique from other large Class I railroads which donated old locomotives is that the railroad has otherwise continued to maintain two operative steam engines.

UP 4-8-4 type No. 844 and 4-6-6-4 type No. 3985 are based at Cheyenne, Wyoming, for exhibition purposes. However, the majority of preserved UP steam will continue to be on static display in community parks and museums. These other engines, especially those at outdoor display sites, need and will continue to need regular maintenance.

Steam historian Lloyd E. Stagner relates the service history of these locomotives. Also, steam preservationist Bob Yarger comments on possible ways these machines can be saved for long-term posterity. Together, the authors provide an informative and illustrated guide on what can be done to save some of these historic relics of a past transportation age before its too late.

Having originally gone to work for the Union Pacific Railroad in 1973 as a clerk at company headquarters in Omaha, Edwina "Curlie" Justus later became a qualified train engineer at age 34 at North Platte, Nebraska, and retired from that position in 1998.

Now, in her own words, Edwina recounts her many real-life experiences operating over the UP mainline out of North Platte. By overcoming sexism and racism on the job through tenacity and kindness, Edwina became one of the pioneer women to enter into what had previously been only a man's world.

This book is illustrated with photos of UP trains and locations from the same era as when Edwina worked for the railroad.

Martha's Vineyard is an island located in the Atlantic Ocean off the south coast of Massachusetts. The Vineyard became a place for summer vacationing in the late 1800s, and residents turned to rail travel as an easy means of traveling about the Island. Beginning in 1873, the first horse-drawn streetcar line began operation on the Vineyard.

This was followed the next year by the three-foot-gauge Martha's Vineyard Railroad, operating for nine miles between the communities of Oak Bluffs, Edgartown and Katama. The little-known histories of both the Island's steam narrow-gauge railroad and what grew to be a seven-mile electric streetcar system are explored in this title.

Attention is given to the operating history and equipment used by the two unique rail systems. The narrow gauge ended service in 1895, followed by the trolley lines in 1918. While any kind of rail service on Martha's Vineyard has been gone for about a century or more, this book relives the era when travel by train or trolley was part of daily life on the Island.

At the end of the steam locomotive age, the Santa Fe Railway was among the foremost of American railroads that responded generously to requests for steam locomotives to be placed on display in city parks and museums. Renowned steam locomotive historian Lloyd E. Stagner documents the service history and current locations of all 51 AT&SF steam locomotives on display or held for future exhibition.

Noted railroad preservation writer Bob Yarger then comments on what action can and must be taken in order to assure the future survival of these treasured artifacts of Americas rail heritage. Filled with 62 photographs and illustrations, this book is a call to action for railroad enthusiasts and history preservationists everywhere.

This book tells the story of Iowa's worst rail disaster -- the March 21, 1910, derailment of a Rock Island passenger train near the small town of Green Mountain. Two wooden day coaches were crushed between steel passenger cars after the train's locomotives derailed, ultimately killing 54 people and injuring about 40 others.

The catastrophe upset life in nearby Marshalltown as the number of injured and dead overwhelmed the city's resources. The wreck captured nationwide attention, leading to a state inquest into the disaster that resulted in a series of shocking conclusions.

Green Mountain tells what happened and why, while also paying tribute to the lives lost.

Photography by Forrest H. Bahm. Across the United States, a large number of new short line or regional railroads have been formed from trackage formerly operated by larger railroad companies.

One example of this type of rail service in the Midwest, the Nebraska Central, has since 1993 continued to move mostly agrarian-related traffic over a series of former Union Pacific Railroad branch lines.

This book serves as a case study of how rail service on one branch line has dramatically changed between the decades of the 1960s and the 1990s. It is also a pictorial study in black and white of how one railroad photographer, Forrest H.

Bahm, documented both of these eras. It is ultimately a story of regional railroading for today. Only one steam photograph but includes many interesting subjects including passenger specials, detour trains with main line power (including a U50C) and a Jordan Spreader.

The photo reproduction is excellent on high-quality glossy paper.

Many stories about the Union Pacific Railroad have centered around its construction as part of the nation's first transcontinental rail line. One of the more famous stories concern the Plum Creek Raid, in which three UP employees were killed and a UP freight train was derailed by the Northern Cheyenne on August 7, 1867, near Plum Creek (now Lexington), Nebraska.

It is the best-known instance in which Native Americans successfully wrecked the "iron horse" during their struggle against the encroachment of the railroad on their tribal lands.The incident includes the unusual tale of UP employee William Thompson and his scalp. Noted railroad historian Thornton Waite looks at the many conflicting versions of events related to the incident, and how it has been been portrayed in the media over the past 150-plus years.

Union Pacific West From Leavenworth: A History of the Leavenworth, Kansas & Western Railway by I. E. Quastler This book picks up where Kansas Central Narrow Gauge leaves off in telling the history of the rail line that ran from Leavenworth to Miltonvale, Kansas.

A few years after converting from narrow gauge to standard gauge, the Union Pacific-controlled Kansas Central was purchased at a foreclosure auction for $200,000 and rechristened the Leavenworth, Kansas & Western, with plans to expand the line to the western border of Kansas and northward into Nebraska.

But financial woes dogged the line and in 1908 it was sold to the Union Pacific. Improved highway transportation and losses spurred by the Great Depression caused the UP to abandon nearly all of the LK&W line in 1935.
