Pictorial Histories Publishing. Softcover. New. Over Homestake Pass on The Butte Short Line: The Construction Era 1888-1929. In the 1880s the Northern Pacific Railroad's management decided to bypass Butte, Montana, in favor of a main line through Helena 40 miles to the north. At that time the mining region around Helena appeared to be a more lucrative source of traffic and offered a lower crossing of the continental divide after the completion of the Mullan Tunnel. Within three years, however, that situation changed as Butte began its conversion to a copper center, becoming known as the 'Richest Hill on Earth.' In 1886 the NP began a decade-long struggle to find a satisfactory route into Butte'first from Garrison, then from Helena, and finally from Logan over Homestake Pass. The Butte Short Line is a history of that effort. The book chronicles surveys, agreements, and conflicts with the Union Pacific concerning rights-of-way in Jefferson Canyon, the Utah & Northern and the Montana Union. It examines… Read More

White River Productions. Hardcover. New. This book was a massive project by the author and includes B&W photographs from the early days, Color photographs from the later days and color maps to help tell the story of Georgia-Pacific and its railroads. ForestRails is a story of railroads and the role they played in the growth of Georgia-Pacific, a major forest products company. From the early beginnings, railroads have been absolutely essential in the delivery of raw materials and shipment of finished products of the forests. Such was the case with Georgia-Pacific's railroads. Just as man does not live on bread alone, railroads could not survive without freight to haul. Thus it is necessary for this story to also tell the parallel stories of G-P's acquisitions that included the railroads. This story is an important part of American business history. By 1900 lumbermen had recognized the efficiency of a steel wheel on a steel rail and the number of logging railroads grew rapidly. The coming of the… Read More

South Platte Press. Softcover. New. The driving of the Golden Spike at Promontory Summit, located in the high desert region of northern Utah, marked the completion of the first Transcontinental Railroad on May 10, 1869. Seventy-three years later, on September 8, 1942, the Golden Spike was 'un-driven' at Promontory Summit during a brief ceremony that largely replicated the original event in reverse. The tracks were then torn up for military use during World War II, whereafter Promontory Summit was largely forgotten. This is the illustrated story of the un-driving of the Golden Spike in 1942 and the various personalities involved. It's also the story of a century-long struggle to have America rediscover the significance of Promontory Summit, which culminated in the establishment of the Golden Spike National Historic Site. Includes 75 historic B&W photographs and one map. Contents: Introduction, pp. 2-6, May 10, 1869, pp. 7-14, The Promontory Branch, pp. 15-28, Un-Driving the Golden Spike, pp. 29-44,… Read More
