Whatever happened to the book Union Pacific Type Volume 1.Is it out of print. where can I find the first volume.
It is long out of print and somewhat difficult to find. It is a great book, thoroughly researched. William Kratville and John E. Bush spent 30 years interviewing former UP employees and other eyewitnesses.
Volumes 1 and 2 are among the finest railroad books ever written in terms of research and attention to detail.
Volume 2 was intended to be William Kratville's last book.
I read my Volume 1 and 2, and then sold them. (I'm not rich, so I tend to buy and then resell books).
Volume 2 can still be found brand new, signed by the authors. Places like Karen's Books can get it for you.
