"Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis &amp; Omaha Railway was part and parcel of Chicago &amp; North Western's midwest empire. As a country cousin, the Omaha Road functioned in concert with C&amp;NW's main line across Wisconsin, and provided the northern reaches of the empire with access to Lake Superior ports before 1912 - a highly competitive exercise. The prize included the historic St. Croix Land Grant, which was sought by aggressive and prominent lumber barons.... "The Omaha Road had its origins in West Wiconsin Railway. Begun at Tomah, WI, it was at that time a springboard community to the Northwest after the Civil War. "The contemporary Omaha, at least in the steam era, ran modest trains and, in the end, carried pulpwood logs. There was the fast track through Augusta and Black River Falls, grounds for the TWIN CITIES 400 to perform at high speed. It was alos ten-wheeeler land - the hweel arrangement best suited for handling local traffic on remote branch lines, which often required heavy snowplows." 311 pages, 8.5x11", profusely illustrated, maps, rosters.

Review In Northern Pacific Classic Steam Era, Hundman has published what might be the ultimate treatment for both historians and modelers of a railroad and its equipment. ...The book merits our highest rating; it is superb. -- Russ Reinberg, Finescale Railroader. From the Publisher The Northern Pacific Railway, selected by Trains Magazine as the "All-American Railroad" was one of the country's great transcontinental railroads. It was created as a national venture, supported by the national government through immense grants of land. The railroad was responsible for opening a large region of the country to settlement and development. It was also the leader in the evolution of the steam locomotive, for the small "American" 4-4-0s to the huge steel monsters that hauled long trains of freight and people across the continent. This volume focuses on the years 1905 through 1925 and the locomotives acquired during these years, focusing on the challenges, triumphs and disasters. The carefully researched and written text is enhanced by over 340 specifically chosen photographs from the work of some of the country's best known rail photographers including, Nixon, McGee, Fredrickson, and Hastings. Brought to you by the publishers of N-Scale Magazine, Mainline Modeler, and CTC Board magazines.

From the author's forward: "Smoke over the Bible Belt" "When it comes to railroads...I've always liked the remote, often run down and obscure. This tome covers many of these lines during the period just before WWII until the arrival of the diesel salesman or abandonment put an end to that order of steam and smoke. "Over the years I had the privilege of traveling doem many twisting backwoods roads that led to the likes of Vinegar Bend, Jetsville, Conosauga and Bonhomie. Often, these trips were made with such fine friends and cameramen as the late Johnny Krause and H. Reid.... "Many of these [railroad] lines served a single industry, mine, quarry, cotton mill, town or sawmill. When this local industry failed, or the lumber and coal played out, these carriers simply "up and quit!" the few survivors opted for new 44 and 70-ton diesels sold by visiting salesmen from General Electric. Others were absorbed as a branch of a larger railroad, but most were abandoned in favor of highway transportation...or no transportation at all."
