P/N: 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

P/N: 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.

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.
