2 out of 5 stars Railway Decendant   February 21, 2007

This book is a rather dry account of the financial conditions and a listing of the upper administration of the GNR. It would have been more interesting if it contained more information about the human side of the railway--that is its interactions with its various employees; e.g. the engineers, conductors, trainmen, middle managers.

While it would be nice to find a copy of the original hard-bound version, this paperback version is well-done and is an excellent price. Anyone with an interest in the Great Northern, or railroad history in general, will enjoy this book. Highly recommended.

This is a wonderful book covering the in-depth history of the Great Northern Railway. I have several other books covering the G.N., and this book includes 'new' information and photos not included in the other books. I have been anxious to acquire this book before, but was hesitant to spend the amount asked for in used book shops, etc. This book is excellent for both it's text and photos. If you are a Great Northern fan, this is a wonderful research resource or book to be read for pleasure.
