This is the second in an anticipated set of three volumes by Jim Fredrickson. The first volume, Railroad Shutterbug: Jim Fredrickson's Northern Pacific, is also available. The third volume is due to be published in the fall of 2003.

From the Inside Flap
"I lugged a camera with me wherever I went on the railroad. [At first] I settled for an older, used Graflex. The Graflex had a fast shutter for action photos of trains in motion, but a somewhat 'long' lens, which made it difficult to get back far enough to fit all of a locomotive in a photo. My next camera was a Kodak Tourist folding camera with a fast shutter and wide-angle lens. In the early 1970s a Mamiya press-type camera...I wore it out, had a replacement stolen, and now possess a third one...In recent years, I have used a Minolta 35 mm, which is much more compact for traveling.
"I possess the negative of every picture I've taken, amounting to roughly 30,000, and I am still in the process of cataloging them. The job should take me well into the 21st century." - Jim Fredrickson

 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 also give fascinating behind-the-scenes information about everyday working men and women.
