Product Description
Dust jacket notes: "This is the family photo album of western railroad operations as seen through the camera of Mike Chandler. Few are better qualified to record the excitement and drama of western railroading from the sixties onward than the author who is both a skilled photographer and a professional railroader. His probing camera has found its way into the pits of roundhouses and the cabs of locomotives, and has journeyed to locations so remote that they are inaccessible by road. Beginning just after the major carriers had dieselized and continuing to the present, "Westbound" chronicles, through more than 125 rewarding images, some of the grandeur of the past quarter century of railroading in Western Canada and the United States. For those who have been occasional rail travellers, for railbuffs, and for arm chair travellers, "Westbound" represents a time when railroads were everywhere and seemed larger than life.
