More than just a railroad, the Southern Pacific was an empire, anchored in San Francisco, but stretching from Portland, Oregon, to several ports on the Gulf of Mexico. From austere western routes the "Espee" grew into a far-flung railroad of some 17,000 miles and for many years was America's only true trans-continental route. This illustrated history tells the tale of Southern Pacific's development from 1861 through it's acquisition in 1916 by Union Pacific. Through archive photographs, route maps, period ads, timetables, readers are treated to the history of steam and diesel power, plus freight and passenger operations from the fabled Coast Line, Shasta Route, Golden Gate Route, and of course the world-famous Overland Route. Authoritative text by rail historian Brian Solomon completes this thrilling history.
