Building Union Pacific 844 (the book)

Thanks.  I was not aware of this book. I just ordered it on Amazon.  I look forward to reading it. 

I finished reading this book last night. As I reported to begin with, this a small book at 56 pages. However, don't let the size fool you. It is a very well done book with many quality photos. Those of you, like myself, who have not been students of the FEF class will find some interesting facts about these locos. One of which is that there were a few that were modified to have three smokestacks.

I would say that this book is a fine companion and a must have for anyone that has a copy of "The Mighty 800" by William Kratville.

BTW, according to my search, those interested in this book will save a bunch by buying directly from the printer.

Thanks for the tip Jim, I have Kratville's book and this sounds very interesting as well.  I will order it asap. 

Thanks for the heads up, and I just ordered a copy from the Union Pacific Historical Society (now only 2 remaining in stock).

I ordered mine from the UPHS, looking forward to it.

Uh oh.  That means there's only one left.

Better jump on that then,,,,,,before someone else beats you to it.

I am also getting one from the UPHS.

Mine just arrived.  Yes, it is short, but the photographs are spectacular.  All are interesting, and some, such as of three FEF-3s in a row in a railyard, incredible.  Many of very crisp, detailed, full- or nearly full-page photos that allow you to count every rivet.  Quite amazing.  

This is a great book.
