Jim worked his way up through the division to qualify for the "Mountain" district. Today, he is best remembered for operating this territory from Auburn across the Cascade Range to Yakima. Jim kept the "Mountain" running like clockwork.
The story of the Pacific Northwest railroading for most of the last half of the twentieth century is entwined with Jim Fredrickson's life. His career spanned a period of far-reaching technological change--from steam to diesel, from parcel freight to containers, from semaphore to radio. And, being a fine, life-long photographer, Jim got it all down on film.
He also photographed the NP's great competing lines--the Milwaukee, Union Pacific, and Great Northern--and the successors, Burlington Northern and Amtrak. Jim crossed the border into Canada to photograph the Canadian Pacific, BC Electric, and Canadian National as well. Today, his collection of regional railroad photographs and historical memorabilia is unparalleled. Steam to Diesel presents some of his best.

Store description
Bailey's Bibliomania is a small, used & new bookstore located in the Historic Downtown District of Ellensburg, Washington. We opened the brick and mortar portion of our business in January of 2006. We previously listed books on Abebooks for several years until an accident caused us to take a long break in our business. During that hiatus we also moved our store causing us to decide to start our inventory listings anew. In our inventory we have many thousands of great books that will be listed here on AbeBooks. We have a very eclectic inventory and tend to focus on those books that are unique in some aspect, leaving the popular titles to be sold in our physical store. We strive to rank and describe each book carefully so that buyers know exactly what they are ordering. Please visit us often as we grow here! Thanks for visiting! Mary & John, Owners…
