Seller ID: FW136
The most historic of Southern Pacific's various railroad routes is certainly the Overland. 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.
