High Iron to North Platte

The Union Pacific Railroad in Transition, 1940-1959

ISBN:

North Platte, Neb., is a true "railroad town" in every sense of the term, as it has been ever since its inception as a highly important division point on the Union Pacific System. Today, the railroad continues to serve as the main industry in North Platte and is the only railroad show in town. High Iron to North Platte features Stensvad's extensive collection of steam era photos, many taken during the 31 years he worked for "Uncle Pete" in North Platte, where he witnessed first-hand a major industry in transition.
