by Richard Billingsley (Author)
One of the giants of American railroading, the Union Pacific Railroad serves a huge swathe of the Mid and Western U.S., from the Great Lakes and the Deep South to the Pacific coast. The vast array of locomotives--over 8,000--and diversity of loads combined with ever-changing scenery make for fascinating viewing. This collection of photographs, mainly from the south-western states, attempts to show the reader just a small selection of the scenes and variety that the Union Pacific has to offer.
