The Railfan Chronicles is a series of books about different railroads during the last quarter of the 20th Century. This was a period of great change in the railroad industry, with mergers of large railroads and creation of regional and short line railroads to operate unwanted lines of the Class 1 railroads. These books cover this period in photographs taken by the author. The railroads of Michigan's Upper Peninsula were traditionally "western" ones versus the "eastern" ones in the Lower Peninsula. Soo Line, The Milwuakee Road and Chicago & North Western Railroad operated in the "UP" along with shortlines Escanaba & Lake Superior Railroad and Lake Superior & Ishpeming Railroad. The isolated and often hostile environment of the UP made the railroads up there work hard to earn their keep and survive. This book chronicles the UP railroads during the years from 1975, when things were still pretty much as they had been for years, to 2013 when most everything had changed since 1975. The evolution of the UP's railroads during this period are shown in both color and black and white photographs.

Also covered are trips to Toledo, Ohio in the late 1970's and to Canada to see Conrail's operations out of St. Thomas and Windsor, Ontario.

When Ian Mahood began his work for forestry magnate H.R. MacMillan in the 1950s, forest management was something less than a science. Mahood's pioneer silviculture methods were instrumental in changing the forest industry's approach to harvesting and crop management. From his early days of working as a sparkchaser on railway logging in the 1930s to stints as a Chief Executive Officer for top Canadian and international forest companies, Ian Mahood was a close inside observer of the forest industry. Now he brings his expertise to this biting indictment of a forest management policy gone astray. His story, a detailed examination of the industry spiced with personal anecdotes and incisive observations, questions the logic of the controversial Tree Farm Licence system.

The period of 1890-1950 marked the romantic era of steam power as the rails reached deep into the old growth of the Adirondack woods to harvest the timber crop. In this volume, not only does William Gove provide an in-depth history of railroad activity in the Adirondacks he also describes the logging methods used, the role of railroads in the logging industry, and the influence of the railroads on the condition of the Adirondack forest today. In addition, he addresses the political and economic forces determining the location and viability of logging railroads, villages, and the forest industry.
