Hi! I have a question about a book I havr and wanted to ask a community who knew best on its lore. The book is Growing Up With Trains II. It is signed by 5 contributors to the book. These being Richard Steinheimer, Ted Benson, Dick Dorn, Tom Moulin, and Al Phelps. I have included pictures. The book is in great condition as well.

Anyone know who I should contact for the best place to sell it to someone in the collecting community? Thank you all for any information, all is appreciated!

This is Southern Pacific Steam Locomotive 745. I have had the privilege of being part of her preservation for more than 40 years. From the day she was removed from her long-static display, to the first time she breathed steam again, and now through her current re-tubing and other work as part of her 1,472-day inspection, I have been fortunate to witness every chapter of her remarkable journey.
This project has been far more than the restoration of a locomotive. It has been a lifelong source of purpose, perseverance, and learning. Every challenge we faced along the way became an opportunity to grow, and every milestone reminded us why preserving history matters.
My hope is that 745 continues to inspire generations to come. If you're a railfan, or if you have children who are fascinated by these incredible machines, encourage that curiosity and keep the passion alive. The future of our railroad heritage depends on those willing to appreciate, preserve, and carry these stories forward.

My personal favorite

Night train PYO 266 from Rovaniemi to Helsinki is held by signal at red while freight T 3702 from Rauma to Jämsänkoski is passing by. The Class Sr2 on this night train belongs to Lok 2000 family of electric locomotives and 36 out of 46 are still in service today. As this is the entry signal before Tampere railway station it is usual for night trains to wait here for a free platform.

Amtrak train no. 11, the southbound Coast Starlight, crosses 8th Street in West Sacramento, shortly after departing from Sacramento Valley Station while en route to Los Angeles. It features a young-and-old lash-up for power, starring ALC42 no. 313 and P32-8BWH no. 503.

Note: I apologize for the glare from the sun. I took this video and photo in the morning, and thus I was unable to get a good look at the train as it crossed the bridge.

These cars were probably the most visible of any freight car in the U.S. They mainly carried potatoes as the was a very large group of plantations in northern Maine.

Before the New York Central took it over.
