Southern Pacific's Historic Overland Route Color Pictorial Tom Dill
Four Ways West Publications 2002 1885614292 / 9781885614292 NEW CONDITION BOOK
Southern Pacific's Historic Overland Route Color Pictorial 1950s-1960s. The most historic of Southern Pacific's various railroad routes is certainly the Overland Route. Originally contemplated by the Central Pacific in 1861, this route served as part of the first transcontinental railroad in the United States. Extending 782 miles from San Francisco to Ogden, Utah the Overland Route passes through some of the most varied and spectacular scenery on the entire Southern Pacific system. This book focuses on the period from 1940 to 1970 when the Overland Route was SP's primary link to the east. The introduction of streamlined passenger trains and the transition from steam to diesel locomotives make this a special period in which to document Southern Pacific's famed Overland Route. Featuring scenes and extensive captions, mostly from the 1950s and 1960s, of the western portion of the first transcontinental railroad from Oakland, California to Ogden, Utah and the last of steam to the first-generation diesel locomotives. Four Ways West Publications, laminated hard cover, 128 pages, 8.5 x 11 x .5 in., color photographs. fww292

Southern Pacific's San Joaquin Valley Line Color Pictorial Tom Dill
Four Ways West Publications 2001 9780961687469 NEW CONDITION BOOK
Southern Pacific's San Joaquin Line Color Pictorial 1950s-1960s. Probably the least known and commercialized of the many routes of the vast Southern Pacific system was the San Joaquin Line. Extending 478 miles from Oakland to Los Angeles via Tracy, Fresno and Bakersfield, the route served the rich agricultural area of the San Joaquin Valley. While not having the scenic beauty of the Shasta, Overland and Coast Routes, it did serve as a vital link in the development of southern California. This all-color book will depict the era from the end of World War II to 1970, a period many consider to be the 'Silver Age of Railroading'. Four Ways West Publications, laminated hard cover, 128 pages, 8.5 x 11 x .5 in., all color photographs. fww469
