From Colorado they continued on to Los Angeles and San Diego, California, then headed north up the west coast to Portland, Oregon before turning east. On their way home they traveled from Chicago to Toronto and Montreal, Canada before heading home. This book includes 270 photographs, many in color and many never published before, along with maps, timetables, train orders and ticket stubs. This is a book by railfans, for railfans, and includes images of many things that are gone forever.
