Sobre este artículo
The Railroad Press. Hardcover. New. The Railroad Press, hardcover, 128 pages, standard portrait book 8 x 10 in., 50/50 mix of B&W and Color photographs with the color being from the later years. Altoona Action is a hardcover book that features thirty years of railroading in and around the city of Altoona, Pennsylvania. Altoona Action presents brilliant color and black & white photography of the Pennsylvania Railroad, Penn Central and Conrail, taken between the mid-1960s and the mid-1990s. In addition to Altoona, the book covers Horseshoe Curve, Gallitzin, Cresson, Tyrone and Spruce Creek. To complement the beautiful photographs, there are histories of Gallitzin and the long-forgotten industrial town of Bennington. You will also learn of two ways in which the Pennsylvania Railroad harnessed the power of the atom for their own use! Additionally, there are old and new maps of the area and excerpts from timetables. At the end of the book is a complete index and bibliography which will come in handy for those who wish to research related topics. There is also a story written by a gentleman who came to Altoona to work for the P.R.R. in 1885 and recorded many details of what life in Altoona was like more than 100 years ago!

Términos de venta
Arizona Hobbies LLC
I reduce shipping for books that weigh less than 1 lb. with packaging. International shipping rates are quoted for a 1 lb. book. International orders that weigh more than 1 lb. will require additional shipping fees.
All books are shipped sealed in plastic to help prevent damage. Sturdy boxes are used often with bubble-wrap and additional padding. Thin titles may ship in a sturdy mailer with cardboard reinforcing. You will not receive 'rounded' books from Arizona Hobbies as you will from Amazon.com with their shoddy packaging.
A a bar code label with USPS a Tracking/Delivery Confirmation number is applied to your shipment. You will be advised of via email of the tracking when your order ships. USPS Media Mail (books, DVDs, CDs, maps) transit time is almost as good as UPS Ground today. Using a bar code label helps move the mail more quickly.
I've only had only six lost and three damaged shipments out of 20,000+ since 1999. This includes International shipments. I use a freight forwarder for International shipments. Canadian shipments bypass the USPS and go directly to Windsor, Ontario via my freight forwarder. It may take up to 2 weeks before Canada Post tracking information is available as we must consolidate orders to forward.
Defective DVDs will be replaced by the same title if available. Since most of my books are in NEW CONDITION and still in the printers plastic shrink-wrap, opened and thumbed through titles become used and a 20 percent re-stocking/used charge will apply plus the shipping costs incurred.
