title: The Great Adventure: The Railroad Legacy of Stevens Pass
author:  Martin Burwash 
description: Fascinating look at modern day railroading on the Stevens Pass, exploring why the route has been and continues to be so important. The book starts at the western end as containers are unloaded at the piers in Puget Sound before heading up past Seattle and Wenatchee to the heart of the Pass where railroad workers and historians discuss the role the route has played in fulfilling James J. Hill's dream of connecting Asia and the United States. The book concludes with a look at the Pass in winter -- a great adventure in the snow! Illustrated throughout with black and white photos. 128 pages.
