Railroad builders constructed a couple mainlines skirting the edges of the region and some branch lines into agricultural communities, but found very little else to attract their interest. Over time, however, a small collection of interesting shortline railroads built or bought rail lines, either in conjunction with the developing timber industry in the Blue, Ochoco, and Wallowa mountains or to connect a few existing communities with the mainline that bypassed the town. This book tells the stories of these small railroads and the roles they played in the development and economies of the region; covered railroads includes the Big Creek & Telocaset; City of Prineville; Condon, Kinzua & Southern; Idaho, Northern & Pacific; Klamath Northern; Oregon & Northwestern; Oregon, California & Eastern; Oregon Eastern Division of the Wyoming/Colorado; Sumpter Valley; Union Railroad of Oregon; Wallowa Union; and others., Most of Oregon east of the Cascade Mountains is a raw and inhospitable land, largely the product of recent volcanic activity.

Great book for eatern Oregon short line fans
Anyone interested in the small railroads of eastern Oregon will enjoy this book. It has the history, photos, locomotive rosters, and pictures of the cars. I found it to be a great reference and recommend his other book on the logging railroads of northern California. Well worth the price.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu
