GNP-BNSF-NW
BNSF
NORTHWEST, A PART of the WHOLE, THE BNSF RAILWAY
in the PACIFIC NORTHWEST by Robert C.
Del Grosso. BNSF Northwest is a detailed description
of BNSF Railway operations within the Northwest
since the corporate merger in September 1995.
As everyone knows, BNSF in the Northwest is the
end result of the railways that came before it.
All mainline routes are therefore discussed thoroughly
as to their histories. The complete SP&S
is represented, NP with its Stampede Pass and “Funnel” route,
and GN with its Stevens Pass, Marias Pass and
the Hi Line. The BN is discussed as to its operations
in the Northwest during its 26-year history.
It did far more than was generally given credit
for. Included are line closures, its development
of the intermodal business, and how it changed
the faces of the railroad lines that merged into
it. The BNSF is phased in as to how it carried
on after the BN. Feature stories include the
major commodities that sustain BNSF Northwest,
i.e. grain, intermodal and Canadian carload traffic,
the new Pacific Coast/I-5 Corridor, and the 7-year
track capacity expansion plan that progressed
for three years (that included the “Funnel” and
reopening Stampede Pass), but was abruptly discontinued
after 3 years and never explained. Read how Canadian
port and rail operations dented BNSF Northwest
in terms of intermodal growth.
In
all, this book is packed with historical dates and facts
about the GN, NP, SP&S, BN, and the BNSF. It is presented
in a dual style of an informative text and guide so the
serious historian and railfan can read about and also
visit those places. This book has been more than a year
in the making and the most definitive historical work
done by Mr. Del Grosso. It is also his first all-color
hardbound large format reference book • Hardbound • 8˝”x11” format • 128
pages • 110 color photos

GNP-CN
CANADIAN
NATIONAL RAILWAY, Historical Review and Motive Power
Directory by Robert C. Del Grosso. With privatization
in 1995 and its merger with the Illinois Central in 1999,
the Canadian National Railway is now the most progressive
and geographically far-reaching railway in North America.
It links the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans and the Gulf
of Mexico, billing itself as North America's Railroad. The
CN and BNSF announced a merger proposal in 1999 to become North
American Railways. Their railroad competitors, weak
and mired down in service failures, launched a campaign
to kill the proposed merger. They won when the Surface
Transportation Board imposed a 15-month moratorium to
devise new merger rules. CN and BNSF profiles, CN's spectacular
5-year growth story, the failed merger proposal and a
complete line-by-line roster of CN and its subsidiary
motive power fleets are covered in this timely book…and
a little more. For the BNSF aficionado, important in
having this CN book in your BNSF library is the historic
CN-BNSF merger proposal, significant related issues and
a detailed compilation of the anti-merger campaign. Also,
new merger proposals will occur in late 2001. If CN and
BNSF again propose a merger and succeed, their motive
power will move both ways across the border and the CN
directory will provide on-the-spot identification. 146
pages, 6"x9", Hardbound, 125 b&w photos, color foldout
maps, 16-page color gallery. |

GNP-BNSF-2002
BNSF
RAILWAY 2002 LOCOMOTIVE REVIEW AND FREIGHT CAR DIRECTORY by Robert C.
Del Grosso. The BNSF motive power fleet could be
called "in transition" during 2001. 100 new locomotives were
acquired. More and different models were repainted into Heritage
colors. Renumbering the merger-acquired fleet was accelerated.
Owned and leased locomotives were retired in large numbers. Most
surge fleet vintage models rode the rails the entire year. All
of these subjects are discussed in detail with supporting statistics
and dates in this new book.
Included is: A 100% line-by-line roster
with builder data and dates
• Renumber and Repaint dates
• Retirements
• Technical
specifications on every model
• Locomotive Conversion Numbers
• B&W
Photos of each model and a 16-page motive power Color Gallery.
Completely new is The Freight Car Directory. It is a historical
profile and index of all BNSF revenue freight cars acquired at
merger and from 1995-2001.
Included are: BNSF / AT&SF / BN
/ CB&Q / GN / NP / SP&S / Subsidiary number series with
totals for each on the roster in 1995 and 2001. The listing itself
is 18 pages long and may be the sole printed reference for years
as BNSF discontinued the printing of diagram books and indexes
in 1997 - making this a must-have reference for historians and
modelers. • Hardbound • 6"x9" format • 208 pages • 285 photos

BNSF
1999 ANNUAL by Robert C. Del Grosso. Anemic railroad traffic growth

the continuing historical saga of the BNSF since 1994 by Del
Grosso in his overview of the BNSF for 1999. Also detailed are
Intermodal, Grain and Coal, BNSF's lifeblood commodities Where
