By Gordon Brandvold
144 pages
Most BN books previously published just “glazed-over” the route east of the Rockies. However, this area is extensively covered in Burlington Northern Prairie Rails in the era between the mid-1970s to the early 1980s. Many first-generation and early second-generation diesel locomotives are seen in this 144 page all color title by Gordon Brandvold.

BN Prairie Rails Color Pictoria
I went through the book. Gordon Brandvold, author took the photos. Most of the locations are in the Dakotas and Montana along the old Northern Pacific and Great Northern. Gordon takes good photos. Text accompanying photos is done well. He has good shots of Valley City, ND. The original line dipped down to town along the Sheyenne River. Must have been quite a sight to see freights barrel down the hill to make it up again. Gordon has good views of the steel trestle line relocation in the early 1950s when the Northern Pacific eliminated the dip. A new passenger station was built on the fill out of town and there is a photo of that. I for one appreciate the photos of Jason and Eric, his two young sons posing by trains. Kudos to Joseph Shine for yet another fine railroad book production. I feel Four Ways West are the highest quality color railroad books you can buy.
