Canadian Pacific's Mighty No. 8000
by Donald Baine and Jack Leslie
In 1931 CP introduced its multi-pressure 2-10-4 for service between Revelstoke
and Field. This was the most complex locomotive ever constructed in Canada and
although it achieved significant fuel savings it was never economically viable.
This monograph deals with the five locomotives built to the Schmidt-Henschel
design and includes more than 50 photographs, most of which have never been
published before. The work follows No. 8000's design, construction, testing in
Eastern Canada and service between Revelstoke and Field. |
The Canadian by Gary Ness and
Donald Bain
The history of CP's last passenger train connecting
Montreal/Toronto and Vancouver. It was always hauled by
diesel-electric locomotives. Its withdrawal in January 1990
caused a political uproar. Unfortunately, the work is now out of
print but we can have it photocopied for you.
The Trans-Canada Limited by
Garry Anderson
A predecessor of The Canadian which connected Montreal/Toronto
and Vancouver between 1919 and 1930. It was often referred to as
the Millionaires' Special.

Canadian Pacific Air Lines by
Donald Bain
The history of a famous airline. The book was completed just as
the company became part of Canadian Airlines International. Our
timing was disastrously bad but I'm glad we completed this
definitive history of the company which has now sold over 22,000
copies. |
Greyhound Canada - Its
History and Coaches
This is a 72 page
work detailing the developments of Greyhound since it was formed
in southeastern British Columbia in 1929. There are over 130
photographs including eight pages of colour and colour covers.
There is a time line for the company showing its acquisition of
other organizations and a complete roster of vehicles operated.
Reaction to the work has been most gratifying and the editor of
the Bus History Association referred to it as "superb."
Today's Steam on the Sugar Lines of Cuba by
David Eatwell
Steam still reigns supreme on the various gauge railways serving
the sugar cane fields of Cuba and many railfans from Europe have
visited the island in recent years. David Eatwell, a well-known
British railway photographer, has made many trips to the island
and this work covers steam operations at over 30 of the country's
mills. There are over 50 shed and action shots and there are
extensive captions. Most of the steam is from US builders and
will bring back memories of North American operations to many
"more senior" railfans. Enjoy this excellent,
non-political work.
