About This Item
Withers Publishing. Hardcover. New. Mention the name Sherman Hill to railroad enthusiasts and images of Union Pacific's mammoth steam locomotives, colorful Armour yellow streamliners, and lonely wind-swept landscapes come to mind. Since the railroad first reached the area in 1867, 'The Hill' has been an operating challenge that demands the newest and most powerful locomotives to lift tonnage over the summit. This photographic journey not only highlights the diesel and turbine power that operated over the Hill since 1960, but also showcases the desolate beauty of this area. Contents: Acknowledgments, pp. 5-6, Sherman Hill in the Diesel Era, pp. 7-10, The 1960s, pp. 11-56, The 1970s, pp. 57-112, The 1980s, pp. 113-160, The 1990s, pp. 161-208, Steam on the Hill, pp. 209-221, Bibliography, pp. 222-224. Withers Publishing, hardcover with jacket, 224 pages, 11 x 8.5 x .75 in., B&W and Color photographs (about 25% color).

Terms of Sale
Arizona Hobbies LLC
I reduce shipping for books that weigh less than 1 lb. with packaging. International shipping rates are quoted for a 1 lb. book. International orders that weigh more than 1 lb. will require additional shipping fees.
All books are shipped sealed in plastic to help prevent damage. Sturdy boxes are used often with bubble-wrap and additional padding. Thin titles may ship in a sturdy mailer with cardboard reinforcing. You will not receive 'rounded' books from Arizona Hobbies as you will from Amazon.com with their shoddy packaging.
A a bar code label with USPS a Tracking/Delivery Confirmation number is applied to your shipment. You will be advised of via email of the tracking when your order ships. USPS Media Mail (books, DVDs, CDs, maps) transit time is almost as good as UPS Ground today. Using a bar code label helps move the mail more quickly.
I've only had only six lost and three damaged shipments out of 20,000+ since 1999. This includes International shipments. I use a freight forwarder for International shipments. Canadian shipments bypass the USPS and go directly to Windsor, Ontario via my freight forwarder. It may take up to 2 weeks before Canada Post tracking information is available as we must consolidate orders to forward.
Defective DVDs will be replaced by the same title if available. Since most of my books are in NEW CONDITION and still in the printers plastic shrink-wrap, opened and thumbed through titles become used and a 20 percent re-stocking/used charge will apply plus the shipping costs incurred.
