This colorful exploration of the best of the rest covers everything from Holstein’s on wheels (Port of Tillamook Bay dairy cow livery) to the somewhat normal seen in a different light (Southern Pacific’s 4449 Daylight Special stripped of the fancy panels and decoration) to little local units most will never get a chance to see (and I might never find again).These one hundred fifty photographs also cover a wide range of travel from Alaska to Texas, although most will obviously be from the Pacific Northwest with Vancouver, Washington being a little over-represented.So pick up the pace and ponder through my top fifty finds over the past twenty-odd years behind the lens. (And no jokes about That’s twenty years and the odd one is behind the lens.)Table of Contents:Cow Ho!Grain TrainPort of Morrow SurpriseTriple Treat- Back in Black- Mini-Munchkin- Classic SwitcherKansas City Southern LiverySeahawk ServiceSP 4449 Daylight SpecialLyle Train BridgeEveryone Has a Kink - SDPXHeritage Units- Penn Central- Chicago North WesternRent the CIT BluesGreat Northern Fantasy Find- F7A- Empire Builder Heavy WeightSide Cupola CabooseBagged and Stuffed SteamiesWorking Shortline Mt Hood RailwayC Is For…Nickel Plate Shark-NoseRegistry Reassignment HijinksPNWR/WPPR Alphabet Swaps of GeneseeBalmer Hump YardDepartment of Defense FlatsIntermission - The One That Got AwayCoos Bay Rail LinkSugar Beet CentralCanadian National - Full Winter CowlingWebb Asset in Boise Valley- Stampede Livery- Mellow WAMX LiveriesMo-Pac EaglesMovie SteamHidden Way HideawayGreat Northern Classic Yard DieselsTunnel MagicOregon Pacific GMDGATX TrainersBloody Nose Southern Pacific LiveryMontana Rail LinkGolden WestUnited Grain ElevatorsSPSR A Long Way From HomeColumbia Basin Railway- Patriot- Perfect Pairing of C-Swoosh- Livery KaleidoscopeSP&S Pit-StopWar BonnetsAlaska Yard UnitRails and RainbowsRolling Stock - Someone Has To Pay the BillsOde to the Caboose
