Immerse yourself in the final, transformative years of one of America’s most iconic railroads with the photography of prolific authors by Jeremy F. Plant and Jeffrey G. Plant.

This full-color photo book is a visual celebration of the Chicago & North Western Railway's rich history during its last 25 years of operation.

Through stunning photographs and insightful commentary, the book captures the railroad's evolution from a struggling 1970s regional railroad through its eventual merger into Union Pacific. The images vividly depict the C&NW’s diverse locomotives, bustling freight yards, scenic routes, and the dedicated people who kept the railroad alive.

From the dramatic challenges of the 1970s to the modernization efforts of the 1980s and its final days in the 1990s, this book provides a compelling photographic narrative of resilience, innovation, and change.

Perfect for railfans, historians, and photography enthusiasts, The Last Three Decades of the Chicago & North Western offers an unforgettable journey through a pivotal chapter of American railroading history.

Whether you’re reminiscing about the iconic yellow-and-green locomotives or discovering this era for the first time, this book is a must-have addition to your collection.

Softbound, 8.5x11, 72 pages, full-color photographs. Shrinkwrapped.
