Publisher's Note 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, roiling 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.
