Author: RICHARD STEINHEIMER
Title: Backwoods Railroads of the West
Description: Kalmbach Publishing Company, 1963. Gekartonneerd met stofomslag. Pp: 177. In this brilliant portfolio the photographic craftsmanship of Richard Steinheimer is complemented by sheet-fed gravure printing as the camera roams far and lingers long at the trackside of lumber and mining roads, short lines, branches, and-of course-the narrow gauge. In 204 never-before-published pictures, Steinheimer reviews The West in terms of steeple-cab motors breasting 4 per cent, Shay gears leaving their inimitable trail of lube oil down Sierra slopes, and bulky Baldwin hoods troting iron ore out of the Eagle Mountains. In Backwoods Railroads of the West, this acclaimed illustrator strays far from high iron to commit to film the way of life of minority railroading. For Steinheimer a Mallet tanker at speed is a rare breed-and so is the man entrusted with a Shay. Herein he records both man and machine in native habitat in a volume to stir the soul of anyone enamored of light rail and small locomotives and big scenery-Jacket. Cond./Kwaliteit: Redelijk.
