We’ve had this book for more than 20 years and it’s never been read. I enjoyed reading about the history which took place in WA. I don’t think I would have enjoyed it as much of I hadn’t lived there.

Runaway “ramp” tracks for trains with switches lined for the ramp? Mind blown.

This book is not easy reading as it presents series of names of people with no more than a sentence or two of what they did. Some parts are interesting others are forgetable. The best parts for me were about the discovery of the pass and the building of the railroad. Even with these flaws the book will attract readers familiar with the area. It is also pretty short.
