Life along the Tracks: The Milwaukee Road in the Snoqualmie Valley. Done by Bill Walker with able assistance of David Sprau. Click here for the Snoqualmie Valley School District 410 Web Site. $21.00 US, order from their site. Looks great. A little homey, but a real insight in what life was like in the early days of railroading.
