BNSF on Crawford Hill is a pictorial look at the first 12 years of BNSF operations on Crawford Hill in northwest Nebraska. In this 160 page all-color book, viewers will see the changes in motive power and operations as they transition from the years immediately following the Burlington Northern/Santa Fe corporate merger in 1995 to late summer of 2009 through photos taken in seven different years. Chapters included are Crawford to Breezy Point, Breezy Point to Belmont, the Summit at Belmont, Helper Locomotives in the BNSF Era, Thirty minutes at Breezy Point, and Grinstein Mac's to the Rescue.



The first three chapters can be used as a railfanning guide because the photos are shown in geographic order as trains make their way up the hill to the summit at Belmont. Additionally, modelers of todays high density, heavy-duty mainline scene can use the book as a reference for modeling track, engines and cars, signaling systems, operations, and weathering.
