Bestselling railway author Barrie Sanford has teamed with Canadian railway artist Max Jacquiard to produce one of the most exciting railway books of the decade. From nearly 400 Jacquiard railway paintings, Barrie has selected 100 of the finest for this book. Text and ephemera from Barrie's private collection have been included and carefully blended with supporting background text and additional historical images to enhance the magnificent visual heritage created by the artist. The mountains of British Columbia and Alberta form the backdrop for most of the paintings, so mountain scenes dominate this book. Dramatic images of a wide variety of steam locomotives are portrayed including those of Canadian National Railway, Canadian Pacific Railway, Great Northern Railway and Pacific Great Eastern Railway. The book also includes a comprehensive index and a Locomotive index for easy reference.
