The History of the Tacoma Eastern Railroad (1890-1919)

This long anticipated book features: over 500 pages of text--First person accounts of life on the railroad--400 rare photos-- custom drawn maps--plus many other illustrations. Learn the origins of this little logging line that grew from obscurity, survived despite economic panic, wars, limited financing, and both hostile and friendly acquisitions to become a national tourist destination and one of the most profitable rail lines west of Chicago.

Unlike most books on this site, this one is only available directly through the author. I don't make a commission if you buy this one, but it's such a good book I'm featuring it anyway. If you're interested in the Tacoma Eastern, this is THE book.
