Trackside in Eastern Canada with the Plant Family is a stunning visual journey through several decades of railway photography across the Maritimes, Quebec, and Ontario. Brothers Jeffrey and Jeremy Plant, along with Jeremy’s son Brian, chronicle their explorations from the 1970s to the early 2000s, capturing the evolution of Canada’s eastern railways, from the Alco-powered main lines of Canadian National and Canadian Pacific to the remote mining railroads of the Canadian Shield. Blending family adventure, heritage, and a lifelong passion for trains, this book offers a rare and intimate look at both the grandeur and the grit of Canadian railroading.

Through more than 150 vividly detailed scenes, readers will follow the Plants from the busy ports of Halifax and the coal trains of Cape Breton to the majestic wilderness of northern Ontario. Each photograph is paired with expert commentary and rich historical context, making Trackside in Eastern Canada both a captivating travelogue and an essential reference for rail enthusiasts and historians alike.

The fifth in a series of titles covering the Susquehanna, this book features over 150 previously unpublished color photos showcasing the railroad’s major Northern Division territorial expansion in the 1980s and 1990s. Coverage includes both freight and excursion operations on the former Lackawanna Utica and Syracuse Branches north of Binghamton from the 1980s into the 2000s. These are some of the most scenic and least-photographed portions of the NYS&W, and through expertly curated images and accompanying captions, authors Finch and Hoffman delve into the railroad's pivotal role in maintaining rail service to communities and industries across upstate New York. Railroad enthusiasts, history buffs, and fans of upstate New York will find Volume 5 a compelling addition to this popular book series.

From the Great Lakes to the Upper Mississippi: Railroads of the Northern Midwest, 1972–1999 by Jeremy F. Plant and Jeffrey G. Plant is a vivid photographic journey through nearly three decades of railroad history across Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Iowa. From the rugged ore lines of the Upper Peninsula to the river valleys of the Mississippi and the farmlands of the Hawkeye State, the authors capture a transitional era when classic first-generation diesels gave way to modern power, and when mergers and abandonments reshaped the Midwestern rail landscape.

Drawing on decades of summer expeditions and an unmatched eye for detail, the Plants present a richly illustrated chronicle of locomotives, liveries, and lines—many now gone or changed beyond recognition. Whether following Alcos on the Green Bay & Western, F-units along the Mississippi, or the rebirth of short lines like the I&M Rail Link, From the Great Lakes to the Upper Mississippi is both a historical record and a heartfelt tribute to the region’s enduring railroad spirit.
