Fredrickson can reel off unique stories about R.B. Lewis, the King of the Green River and telegrapher at Lester Washington; Pearl Jacobson, the Morse operator who used to teach 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 Ravensdale, 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. Fredrickson?s pictures and yarns tell of locomotives, depots, diners, cabooses, sidings, yards, shops, turntables, bridges, canyons, tunnels, wrecks, and crossings.
