I just bought a copy of this book and must say how happy I am to have this. I grew up in Blairsden, California and was very familiar with these locations. My father who was a Engineer for 47 years just retired last year. As a kid I would ride the work trains to go fishing and of course we would meet dad in Oroville, as he ran up and down the canyon al well as the HI-line to Beiber. Now at 43, I am trying desperetly to model the WP Feather River route and have had finding maps and picutres of track segments and photos from Oroville to Portola. In any case thank you so much for this book. I would also agree this is an excellent source of the history of the WP.. May she live forever…..

I have a copy of ths book and I must say with absolute certainty that it is a very thorough work covering every mile of the WP. There are many stations covered that one might not otherwise have known to exist. It is an excellent resource and a must have for any railfan.
