For those of you who are new to the SPF volumes, you'll be happy to know that we have chronicled more grime and rust and new unrequested paint jobs than ever! So, if you're into boxcars in need of a weld, vintage or specialty locomotives, the art painted on the sides of the railcars, or just have money to burn in an effort to fill up your library, then Southern Pacific Forever Volume 5 needs to be yours.

(440 full color pages of trains, boxcars, freights and anything railroad!)

For the returning folks who know about the SPF experience and for those of you who have feared to take the seemingly pricey dive into the wallet to see what it's all about, Volume 5 has captured January though March of 2008's rail movement in Northern California and has an Interchange brought to you from the state of Minnesota as well as a bonus Interchange from our good friend Devol in Montana for the second straight volume (welcome to the family, buddy!).

With this volume's Artist Highlight we've been lucky enough to see a small glimpse into the massive arsenal of the Goonies' NIGHT, hailing from somewhere a lot farther than I would have assumed. It's quite an adventure to see the giant panels and types of cars this artist gets.

In an attempt to go with the times, every refrigerated car seen by the SPF in these first three months of 2008 have been compiled into one chilling section. Trust me, bring a coat.

All in all, Volume 5 has taken the railroad as it seen today and chronicled it for railfan's alike to see. If you can believe that I only make coffee money on these things and understand how hard it is to compile nearly 2000 images in the collecting and building process, please get a copy today! I promise you you'll be stunned and be able to say there's nothing like Southern Pacific Forever out there.
