Rail Vision 2020 Bob Campbell Author

After only a couple months of trains in Vancouver, Washington - with multiple trips up-and-down the Columbia River Gorge - there’s new regions in and around Eastern Washington, with heavy BNSF emphasis on the Pasco and Connell areas. Although there’s still color on the rails with CBRW (Columbia Basin Railroad), the Union Pacific, plus a smattering of other letters: CP, MRL, NS, and even a TCRY and NP. (Canadian Pacific, Montana Rail Link, Norfolk-Southern, Tri-Cities Railway, Northern Pacific (Rest in peace))We traded trees and rain for sage and sun in this collection of high resolution pictures of railroading and railways in the year 2020. Designed to be enjoyed as a visual break from your day-to-day routine as a little jolt of steel rail happiness, or read through as a random collection of modern railroad notes and discoveries - this book tries to pack a lot of visual punch between the virtual covers. Plus bonus bits and the option to use the book as your very own key to joining in with the cool kids in identifying specific power genres, makes, and models plying the rails.Snag a copy and see what you might have missed while hiding behind a mask or locked in a cubicle being forced to work for a living.

It was a year to take your pleasure any way you could get it. And you can’t tell me I was the only one wearing a cowboy hat with my mask during the year.)
