Book excerpt: A working locomotive engineer on the Southern Pacific, Portland Division, Abdill knows railroading. If ever a book is to be the "compleat [sic] railroader" this one is it. In this, the fifth of his railroad pictorial histories, author Abdill has collected photos from a hundred archives. Many of the photos exceed or approach the century mark in age, most have never been published before, all are rare. These pictures, combined with Abdill's delightful "round house" story-telling and his usual talent for reciting history accurately, yet interestingly, tell this story as it has never been told before. - Publisher
