About This Item
Arlington, WA, USA: Oso Publishing, 1995. Reprint 1st Printing. Hardcover. As New/Very Good. 290mm x 225mm x 20mm. 258 Pages with Black/White Photos. Praiseworthy collection of old and historic logging photographs from Oregon and Washington State. John T. Labbe and Vernon Goe did a workmanlike job of selecting the 440 b&w photos. But Labbe and Goe also penned a winning text. They take us from the 1880s, when "early railroads were just a step away from the bull teams," to August 1957, when the Long-Bell division of International Paper Company finished logging the hills overlooking Keasey, Oregon. While some of the pictures are of minor importance (and quality), most are large, sharp, and informative. Especially dynamic are the picture of a powerful Shay (a geared engine built in 1894); an interior shot of a Big Creek mess hall, which is surprisingly roomy and comfortable; and a two-page spread of the spectacular Baird's Creek bridge, near Longview, Washington. This book has a fine index, and the printing and layout are beautifully done.

About Train World Pty Ltd
Train World commenced business at 615 Hawthorn road East Brighton in 1973. From a cabinet in a haberdashery store, Train World grew to take over half the shop in 1974 to take over the entire store and by 1977 it had taken over the shop and the rear residence. In 1981 the shop moved across the road to 624 Hawthorn Road East Brighton. Here too the shop grew and grew. So that by 1995 it had taken over the shop, the storage room area, the staff area, the garage, the rear warehouse and finally filling the entire building. Finally on 1st July 2012 Train world moved again to 290 Bay Street Brighton - Since the 1980s the focus of Train World has been trains and model trains, nothing but trains and everything to do with trains.
