Product Description
Color laminated hardcover, 8.75x11", glossy paper, 250 pages, sharp, clear b/w photos throughout, maps, drawings. Author's comments: "[the book] includes unpublished photos of Pickering Lumber, Sierra Railway and West Side Lumber. Besides the photos there are maps of Soap Creek and Breadsley Camps, Pickering's mill, 1906 and 1955 maps of Sierra Railroad, and Pickering's and WSLC rails. "One model railroader commented that the Pickering layout is worth the cost of the book. "There are accounts of working on Pickering rails, including many double page spreads. Engine rosters and time lines for all three railroads are detailed in the book."
