Southern Pacific Oregon Division
|
| By : Brian Jennison, Victor Neves |
Here is an all-color pictorial of a railroad about which no one is neutral: the Southern Pacific. For those who love this proud, arrogant company, this book presents a retrospective on railroading in Oregon and Northern California from the mid 1960s- until the early 1990s. These were years of transition and, unfortunately, decline of the SP's influence in the Beaver State: however, the photographs and extended captions presented here emphasize the railroad in its former, healthy condition.

Southern Pacific Railroad (Railroad Color History)
|
| By : Brian Solomon |
One of the most famous railways in American history, the Southern Pacific first gained prominence in the 19th century for helping to build the transcontinental railroad, and later for its cab-forward steam locomotives, streamliner passenger service, and freight operations. Archival color and black-and-white photography showcase the locomotives, rolling stock, passenger cars, and events of the Southern Pacific--the railroad which, in its heyday, enjoyed revenues second only to the New York Central and the Pennsylvania. Railroad enthusiasts will cherish the combination of rare images and authoritative history documenting the railroad that continues to play a vital role in American transportation.
