Volume One

the Dust Jacket has torn on virtually every remaining book, it will need to be replaced.  and will require some intense labor to complete.

Therefore it may be released after Vol. 2,

We would LOVE to have the dust jacket for Volume One reprinted now, however multiple printers have told us the cost of doing a dust jacket ONLY is PROHIBITIVELY EXPENSIVE!!

BC Rail Volume Two

After two full years of work, We finally are reliable page count /estimates - pitched our prices to a few places in US and Canada

The new dust jacket has to be run with at least one other dust jacket, as it is prohibitively expensive to have Vol. 1 dust jacket printed by itself.


As soon as we have an estimated publication date for Volume 2, we’ll begin the process of printing dust jackets

BC Rail hardbound series  Volume 2 will cover from Feb. 1987 to July 2004.

Due to the events of 2020, some seemingly never ending, with many of our dealers totally closed for months, some have closed permanently. our plan to build up funds and cash flow in order to properly absorb the costs of printing a 12” x 9” all color hardbound were negatively impacted - Much to our extreme disappointment, we are forced to shelve the BC Rail project until a later date... 

The unforeseen issue, during 2020-21 when we were trying to get Volume 2 printed, along with the Vol. 1 dust jacket,
