Book excerpt: Fredrickson, an amateur photographer, began a 39-year career with the Northern Pacific in 1943. He took exceptional photographs throughout that time--depicting the last glories of the steam era as coal-fired locomotives were replaced by diesel engines in the 1940s and 1950s. His photos and yarns tell of the NP's men and women as well as steam engines, depots, diners, cabooses, sidings, yards, shops, bridges, and tunnels.
