I was in McCloud in August 2005 for the last run of the #18 on McCloud Rails. I thought I recognized Ted Benson, a railroad photographer who's work and writing style I have always admired, standing trackside taking pictures, and after one of the runs I introduced myself to him, and he recognized my name from this website. At some point during the day Ted turned to me and said something along the lines of "It's time for another McCloud book". That comment launched me down an eleven year path that led to this book. I met a lot of interesting people and learned a lot of fascinating facts along the way, and I hope this book does the railroad and its place in history justice. I want to send a big thank you out to everyone who has helped to make it possible, and I'm really pleased with how it has turned out. This book was published by Signature Press in October 2016. However, Signature ceased business activities at the end of 2022 following the retirement of the company's owners, and as such the book is now out of print. Signature has a page on their website describing the book.
