Located within the northern Sierra Nevada mountain range, the forests of Plumas County were once seen as a source of endless timber. Lumber was needed during the Gold Rush for water flumes, mine timbers, and an array of buildings. While timber was abundant, the abilities of the early settlers to harvest, transport, and mill the logs were often very limited. Markets remained relatively local throughout the second half of the 19th century until the completion of the Western Pacific Railroad in 1909. This sparked a new rush of industry into the region. Vast tracts of untapped Plumas County timber were bought up by speculators, and many sawmills were erected. Logging in the western United States moved from animal power to steam engines to internal combustion in the space of about 50 years. While Plumas County’s lumber industry was reflective of these developments, it also found its own identity as a timber-producing region that was nearly unequaled. # of Pages: 128,

Andrew Carnegie’s vision of transporting iron ore from his boats on Lake Erie to his Pittsburgh steel mills was realized when he obtained ownership of a series of railroad companies in the region. In 1900, these companies became the Bessemer and Lake Erie Railroad, which connected the Lake Erie ports of Erie, Pennsylvania, and Conneaut, Ohio, south to North Bessemer near Pittsburgh. Through vintage photographs, Bessemer and Lake Erie Railroad highlights the railroad passenger excursions to Conneaut Lake Park and the steam and diesel locomotives used on the well-maintained line. The railroad continues to serve the steel industry today and in May 2004 was acquired by the Canadian National Railway. # of Pages: 128,

In the East African country of Eritrea, there exists one of the more spectacular narrow gauge steam railroads in the world. The railroad travels from the Red Sea port of Massawa and climbs through the high mountain country over stone arch bridges through tunnels, and snakes around massive loops gaining the needed altitude to the capitol city of Asmara whose elevation is 7000 feet. This railroad fete is accomplished behind 0-4-4-0 compound mallet steam locomotives built in Italy in the 1930s. Come with us to discover the enormous diversity hidden within Eritrea. Witness the beauty of its people, the scenic contrasts and experience the many thrills of riding this quaint narrow gauge railway.
