About This Item
South Platte Press. Softcover. New. This is a mostly-color pictorial of the last seven years of the railroad town of Wymore, Nebraska, once an important division point on the Burlington Railroad. The final decline of rail service to Wymore is documented from the viewpoint of a local freight that operated from Lincoln to Wymore, and those BNSF employees who operated the trains. This book serves as a sequel to Burlington Route: The Wymore Story, published by South Platte Press, which told of Wymore's rich Chicago, Burlington & Quincy rail history. Last Train to Wymore is an informative account of the end of a railroad town and a poignant look at the demise of the once-common local freight train. Contents: Introduction, pg. 5, The Wymore Local, pp. 6-8, Route of the Wymore Local, pp. 9-17, Motive Power of the Wymore Local, pp. 18-27, Union Pacific Bids Farewell, pp. 28-38, Last Train Out, pp. 39-45, A New Day, pp. 46-51, Motive Power on the Beatrice Subdivision Today, pp. 52-54, Beatrice Area Railroad Enthusiasts-Additional Reading, pp. 55-56. South Platte Press, softcover, 56 pages, standard portrait book 8 x 10 in., B&W and Color photographs (mostly color).

Terms of Sale
Arizona Hobbies LLC
I reduce shipping for books that weigh less than 1 lb. with packaging. International shipping rates are quoted for a 1 lb. book. International orders that weigh more than 1 lb. will require additional shipping fees.
All books are shipped sealed in plastic to help prevent damage. Sturdy boxes are used often with bubble-wrap and additional padding. Thin titles may ship in a sturdy mailer with cardboard reinforcing. You will not receive 'rounded' books from Arizona Hobbies as you will from Amazon.com with their shoddy packaging.
A a bar code label with USPS a Tracking/Delivery Confirmation number is applied to your shipment. You will be advised of via email of the tracking when your order ships. USPS Media Mail (books, DVDs, CDs, maps) transit time is almost as good as UPS Ground today. Using a bar code label helps move the mail more quickly.
I've only had only six lost and three damaged shipments out of 20,000+ since 1999. This includes International shipments. I use a freight forwarder for International shipments. Canadian shipments bypass the USPS and go directly to Windsor, Ontario via my freight forwarder. It may take up to 2 weeks before Canada Post tracking information is available as we must consolidate orders to forward.
Defective DVDs will be replaced by the same title if available. Since most of my books are in NEW CONDITION and still in the printers plastic shrink-wrap, opened and thumbed through titles become used and a 20 percent re-stocking/used charge will apply plus the shipping costs incurred.
