Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. In 1943, old hands at Tacoma's Union Station probably didn't think much of the idea of hiring a green, 16-year-old kid. But with so many men away at war, the labor shortage was critical and any new worker was welcome. Jim Fredrickson didn't disappoint. From this humble start, he flourished as a train dispatcher extraordinaire on the Northern Pacific's Tacoma Division in Washington State.Jim worked his way up through the division to qualify for the "Mountain" district. Today, he is best remembered for operating this territory from Auburn across the Cascade Range to Yakima. Jim kept the "Mountain" running like clockwork.The story of the Pacific Northwest railroading for most of the last half of the twentieth century is entwined with Jim Fredrickson's life. His career spanned a period of far-reaching technological change--from steam to diesel, from parcel freight to containers, from semaphore to radio. And, being a fine, life-long photographer, Jim got it all down on film.He also photographed the NP's great competing lines--the Milwaukee, Union Pacific, and Great Northern--and the successors, Burlington Northern and Amtrak. Jim crossed the border into Canada to photograph the Canadian Pacific, BC Electric, and Canadian National as well. Today, his collection of regional railroad photographs and historical memorabilia is unparalleled. Steam to Diesel presents some of his best. Fredrickson's career with the Northern Pacific spanned a period of far-reaching technological change, which he thoroughly documented through photography. Steam to Diesel presents some of his best photos of the NP and its competing lines. Insightful essays give fascinating behind-the-scenes information about everyday working men and women.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. As a youngster in 1936, Jim Fredrickson took his first railroad photo of a class A-2 locomotive at Butte, Montana. Soon, railroad men in Tacoma, Washington, were regularly seeing the "kid with a camera" in the rail yards and along the tracks. In 1943, the chief dispatcher at Tacoma's Union Station told Fredrickson, yet a high school student: "You're hanging around here all the time, you might as well go to work." Fredrickson became a callboy. It was his first job in a 38-year career with the Northern Pacific's telegraph and transportation departments.Today, Fredrickson can reel off unique stories about telegrapher R.B. Lewis, the "King of the Green River," at Lester, Washington; Pearl Jacobson, the Morse operator who taught school in Saskatchewan; President Harry Truman coming through Auburn on the Ferdinand Magellan in 1948; and the NP foremen with wonderful names like Mike Mola at Ravendale, Pucci Sabatini at Lester, and Louis Gagoush at Yakima.The station at Nisqually is captured in one of Fredrickson's lyrical photos taken in 1944. Posing by the train order signal is telegrapher Frank Emerick. Only Fredrickson would remember that before Emerick went to work for the NP, he was a circus comedian and vaudeville dancer who knew Al Jolson and Will Rogers. Only Fredrickson would recall how Emerick, who lost his right arm in a train accident, could tie a loop in a train order string. Fredrickson's pictures and yarns tell of locomotives, depots, diners, cabooses, sidings, yards, shops, turntables, bridges, canyons, tunnels, wrecks, and crossings. Today, whether it is a BN freight train loaded with containers, or a silvery AMTRAK passenger train, the engineers all know Jim Fredrickson. Fredrickson, an amateur photographer, began his 39-year career with the Northern Pacific in 1943. He took exceptional photographs throughout that time depicting the last glories of the steam era as coal-fired locomotives were replaced by diesel engines in the 1940s and 1950s. His photos and yarns tell of the NP's engines, depots, diners, cabooses, sidings, yards, shops, bridges, and tunnels.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. Packed with spectacular photographs and a trainman's vivid memories, Railscapes is an exceptional album, filled with the author's unbounded enthusiasm, love, and respect for the whole world of trains. Once again, Jim Fredrickson opens the shutter wide on more than six decades of American railroading, and offers insider's insights on the business of moving men and materials via the great steel ribbons that connected the Pacific Northwest with the rest of the world.For 38 years, the author worked for the Northern Pacific in Washington state as a telegraph operator--a "brasspounder"--and as a dispatcher. He had the good fortune to work and travel in some of the most beautiful territory in the United States, and his camera covered it all--from the Bitterroot Mountains of Montana and Idaho, to the Cascade Range of Washington, to the coastal region of Puget Sound.Wherever he's been, since his teens, Fredrickson has been ready to capture by a click both ordinary workhorse trains as well as any special, magnificent, vintage, or futuristic trains he could get near. Arranged thematically from his immense collection of railroad images, Railscapes features more of his favorite photographs, with sections on train wrecks, special and futuristic trains, the last of the steam engines, depots, railroad folks, and more. Brimming with spectacular photographs and a trainman's vivid memories, Railscapes journeys through more than six decades of American railroading. The author worked and traveled in some of the most beautiful territory in the United States, from the Bitterroot Mountains of Montana and Idaho to the Cascade Range of Washington, to the Puget Sound coastal region.
