Trains and More 2024

di Campbell Bob (Autore)

Bob Campbell, 2025

Trains and More 2024 completes a decade of capturing the living history that is the American railroad system with emphasis on the Pacific Northwest, and particularly the state of Washington. While this book is heavy on Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF pumpkin orange), we've still been able to catch some passing colors and liveries from other rail lines from the Union Pacific (UP) to that growing pile of Canadian craft (meaning not just CN and CP, but KCS and FXE... because "Kansas City Southern" and "FerroMex" mean "Canadian Pacific" now.) Along with Norfolk Southern (NS), a CSX or two, and a healthy helping of CBRW (Columbia Basin Railroad) to complete the picture. As an added bonus, if you're trapped in the city or other large metropolitan area and have forgotten what the world looks like without concrete, asphalt, and steel, rest assured our book spends an inordinate amount of time out in the rolling sage steppes (Inland Desert) of Washington with multiple trips to Connell, along with splashes of Eltopia, Mesa, and Spokane. Not to mention, while we think of Pasco and the Tri-Cities along our bend of the Columbia River as being a big city, it's hard to avoid all the agricultural landscapes and desolate sandy hills that surround our town (and make up the interior sections of any major highway interchange. Heck, we have dead bodies (human!) periodically discovered *inside* the clover leafs of Interstate 182 in significant states of decomposition. Not because of dense tree cover (there is none around here. Sage brush is typically the tallest natural "trees" we sport), but because they're made wide and sprawling as land isn't really at a premium. ) So come along with us as we complete a decade of training, railroad watching - and pictures of it all - in this collection of images perfect for wiling away an hour or three at the office trying to look busy, at the work bench sure you'll come up with the perfect model railroad weathering scheme or track side debris, or just enjoying a few moments staring at trains. We hope you enjoy your virtual training trip.
