From the web: The Northwestern Pacific Railroad, the ‘Redwood Empire Route’, played a major role in the growth of Northern California. The line was created in 1907 through the consolidation of six separate picturesque railroad companies held by the Santa Fe and Southern Pacific railroads. At its height, the Northwestern Pacific Railroad was an amalgamation of some sixty different companies. Some of the forerunners built extensive and substantial operating lines. Others, were short lines such as the many logging lines in the Humboldt Bay region. Nearly a third consisted of companies which incorporated but never laid a foot of track. All of them contributed, in some fashion, to the rich heritage of the NWP. I show you the Table of Contents and many examples of the pages Condition: Very Good condition. . . . complete and tightly bound ~ inside pages nice and clean and unmarked with the exception of an occasional number written on one of the resort pages, which could be a rate? ~ the covers are good with some shelfwear – few creases and general wear ~ there is a split at the bottom front 1” of the spine cover – only other thing to mention is a small hole in the upper left of the front cover - - perhaps where there used to be a staple?
