Description: RailroadTreasures offers the following item: Overland to the Rockies by Wesley Fox 1984 Soft Cover 104 Pages Overland to the Rockies by Wesley Fox 1984 Soft Cover 104 Pages White cover. FIRST PRINTING AUGUST 1984 Black and white photos of the Overland Route taken by noted railroad author Wesley Fox just before the last great wave of mergers. This pictorial showcases the Burlington Northern, Denver and Rio Grande Western, Chicago Northwestern, Southern Pacific, Western Pacific, and Union Pacific and includes thoughtful captions by the author. OVERLAND TO THE ROCKIES represents the six railroads that make up the Overland railroad route across the middle and western part of the United States. Those six railroads are the Southern Pacific, the former Western Pacific, Union Pacific, Denver and Rio Grande Western, Burlington Northern and the Chicago Northwestern. All the material in this book is current with the earliest photos taken in 1980 and the latest only a month before this was written. OVERLAND TO THE ROCKIES is more than a book of pictures. It's a essay about CHANGE. It shows some railroads in their "eleventh hour" of pre-merger operations, and merger-affected railroads in the post hours. I can safely say that if you picked this book up ten years from now, everything in it will be historic as history proves, nothing stays the same and when the "Master Railroad Plan of 1990" is completed, there will only be six major railroads, one in the East, one in the South, one in the Midwest and the balance out in the West and SouthWest with all overlapping each other in some areas. The great American railroad system of thirty years ago which resembled a bowl of spaghetti with hundreds of different railroads will be, in 1990, an organized assembly of a few names of which will be hybrids of dynasties in this book. All pictures are of the actual item. If this is a railroad item, this material is obsolete and no longer in use by the railroad. Please email with questions.
