This is an upgrade and update of what was a good book originally. The current edition includes the current era since the Union Pacific buyout of the Southern Pacific and includes color photographs and great maps that John Signor is known for. The San Pedro, Los Angeles & Salt Lake Railroad; Union Pacific's Salt Lake Route was first published in 1988 and has long been out of print.

However, since the initial printing, much has happened on the old Salt Lake Route and considerable additional material has come to light. A desire to revise, correct, update and expand the first edition has resulted in this volume, and, with modern printing methods available today, it includes a great deal more color photographs and illustrations than the original.

This revised addition includes 64 additional pages plus 48 period graphics and timetables, 52 maps, 415 photographs of which 81 are in color, a bibliography and index. Union Pacific is one of the most modern railroads in the country. The railroad's 780-mile line from Salt Lake City to Los Angeles is no exception.

To the uninformed it would seem as if the railroad was built just yesterday, yet the history of this, the Salt Lake Route, now spans more than a century rich in the annals of railroading and the American West. As far as transcontinental railroads are concerned, the Salt Lake Route is a late comer, yet it is a true pioneer.

The location of the railroad, connecting the City of Saints (Salt Lake City) with the City of Angels (Los Angeles) was built through largely undeveloped country more or less following the Old Spanish Trail. It even founded the City of Las Vegas, Nevada which in Spanish translates to "The Meadows" for wild grasses fed by artesian springs.

Organized in a chronological format, this volume covers in detail every aspect of the Los Angeles & Salt Lake Railroad's construction and operation, its merger with Union Pacific in the Twenties, and the challenges of competition, wartime and coping with the demands of the country it traversed. Contents, Introduction, pp.

Mountain railroading in Southern California has always been synonymous with names like Tehachapi, Cajon Pass and Beaumont Hill. While the two former passes have been the subject of several published histories, Beaumont Hill, Southern Pacific's gateway to Southern California, from the east, has been largely overlooked.

The publication of this book fills that void. After years of exhaustive research, John R. Signor presents the full story of over a century of history and operations at Beaumont Hill. From its fragile beginnings in the 1870's up to today's heavy double-stack traffic, every facet of Beaumont Hill's long and colorful history has been explored.

In the early days, learn about the desperate search for water to satisfy thirsty locomotives, of flashfloods and sandstorms, and how the blistering heat affected day-to-day operations. Trace the evolution of motive power from the diminutive American and Consolidation-type engines of the late nineteenth century through today's high-tech diesels.

Follow the rise and decline of such name trains as the Sunset Limited, the Golden State Limited, the Argonaut, and the Imperial. Get the inside scoop on management decisions concerning double-tracking, signal systems, Centralized Traffic Control, and electrification. Beaumont Hill: Southern Pacific's Southern California Gateway takes you trackside to witness the pageant of over a century of train operations.

See multi-engined freights charge upgrade, first, with the sturdy Consolidations of the early 1900's, followed by the mighty cab-forward Mallets of the late steam era and finally on into the diesel age. See Kaiser ore trains struggle upgrade with 20 locomotives, alone. See the ponderous beet drags moving west from the Imperial Valley, and streamliners of another era-in black and white and in color.

Not to be overlooked are the more pastoral activities of the branch lines radiating out of Colton (including Pacific Electric's electrified operations), and the agricultural oriented operations in the Imperial Valley and along the Inter-California Railway. Crisp maps detail the activities of places like Beaumont, Colton and Indio at their zenith, be it in the 1910s or the late 1940s.

This is a second edition with updated information, images and tables. This book presents the complete intermodal story: The development of Gene Ryan's Rail Trailer Company; General Motors flirtation with a depressed center-car design; the establishment of Trailer Train; Southern Pacific's truck-trailer train experiment between Los Angeles and San Francisco (handling only company owned Pacific Motor Trucking Trailers); the separation of Pennsylvania Railroads influence over Trailer Train; and the combination of rail-highway units familiarly called Rail Van and RoadRailer.

Featured are the various hitch arrangements, the once popular trailer-leasing program, the expansion of United Parcel from a department store delivery service to the United States' largest freight carrier and their influence on rail-piggyback.

This book is written by an industry insider who tells the 'who' and 'why'.

Pennsylvania Railroad Color Pictorial Volume 5: Chicago to Phillipsburg, New Jersey by David R. SweetlandBeginning in Chicago, this book is a look at the last of steam and first and second-generation diesels of Pennsylvania Railroad power and locations. Therefore the era of the pictures covers the 1940s, 50s and 60s.

An eight-page section on PRR diesel switchers starts the coverage and then on to the geographic locations. Included are some pictures of PRR electrics but first-generation diesels dominate this volume. Four Ways West Publications, hardcover, 128 pages, 8.5 x 11 x .5 in., color photographs.

Volume Two continues Four Ways West Publications Publications' New Haven Railroad pictorial series of all-color books, this time focusing on New Haven's operations in central Connecticut and Rhode Island. This book also reviews New Haven's road-switchers and switchers purchased from ALCO, EMD, Fairbanks-Morse, General Electric and Lima between 1931 and 1965.

The photographic trip begins at Old Saybrook and covers New Haven's back lines in Connecticut and the branch lines of Rhode Island as well as the Shore Line route from New London to Providence ending at Boston Switch. Four Ways West Publications, hardcover, 128 pages, 8.5 x 11 x .5 in., all Color photographs.

This Volume begins with a section on the development of Electric Locomotive on the Pennsylvania Railroad. The motive power story, through the use of photographs, starts in St. Louis and moves eastward through Indianapolis, Columbus and Pittsburgh with several side trips. At Enola, our train moves under the wire for its journey to New York.

The P5s, GG1s and E44s are the focus of this book on the east end of the PRR system with B1, 01 and L6 Electric Locomotive used to pull our train as often as possible. Included are photographs of leased Santa Fe 4-8-4s in 1956 along with many other Color photographs from the late steam and early diesel era on this part of the Pennsy.

This book presents reflections on the operations of the Illinois Central and Gulf, Mobile & Ohio railroads which merged and became the Illinois Central Gulf in 1972. In 1988 the merged railroad was renamed the Illinois Central after many GM&O routes were spun off as short line and regional railroads.

Examined are operations in the states of Illinois, Iowa, Missouri and Indiana. An amazing amount of information and data were gathered to produce this book. The ICG had an interesting history and much of it is contained in this title. Four Ways West, hardcover, 144 pages, all-color photographs and illustrations.

Volume Two is a continuation of the authors' efforts to provide a pictorial history of the railroads of Maine since 1950. This second Volume could be subtitled: Two Decades of Change. These changes include the consolidation of railroads, the embargo or abandonment of certain lines, the outright sale of properties and the start-up of new regional and short line railroads.

As with Volume One, the book is laid out geographically, and the authors have tried to provide as much relevant information as possible with each photo caption. Four Ways West Publications, hardcover, 128 pages, 8.5 x 11 x .5 in., all Color photographs.

The earliest explorers and settlers in central New York first used ancient Indian trails to enter the region. Over time, primitive dirt roads, plank roads, and turnpikes in combination with the navigable portions of the Susquehanna River and its tributaries greatly aided expansion into the lands southwest of Albany.

Eventually, the broad gauge Albany & Susquehanna Railroad - a predecessor of the powerful, renowned Delaware & Hudson Railroad - formed what would be regarded as the ultimate link in the transportation system that connected Albany with Binghamton.

Besides accelerating community growth, the railroad spurred the development and facilitated the growth of local industry - limestone and cement, dairy and agriculture, and the manufacturing of tools, wagons, wood products, and machinery.

In his inimitable style, Mr. Taibi engages the reader on a point-to-point tour, weaving an entertaining story around how these three phases of passage - the Roads, Rivers, and Rails - created lifelines for the interior towns.

This book contains more than 500 color, sepia, and black & white illustrations - from vintage stereo views of A&S/D&H operations to Electric Locomotive Color photographs of current owner Canadian Pacific Rail with Norfolk Southern operations via trackage rights.

Early D&H steam and the most modern diesels - AC4400CW, SD60, SD90, ES44AC, C40-9W, and ES40DC - are shown at various locations. Union Pacific run-through power is also included. Among those places visited in this first installment of Roads, Rivers, and Rails, are Voorheesville, Altamont, Delanson, Cobleskill, Richmondville, Worcester, Schenevus, and Oneonta.

Volume II will begin the story anew at Oneonta and continue on to Otego, Unadilla, Sidney, Bainbridge, Afton, and Nineveh - concluding at the 'Parlor City,' Binghamton.

Route of the Cariboo: Pacific Great Eastern - British Columbia RailThis title is now outdated as it was published in 1994. The history and the photographs are still relevant today, though.Route of the Cariboo presents railroading in one of North America's most scenic and rugged regions. The Pacific Great Eastern Railway was incorporated in 1912 to serve a sparsely populated wilderness whose natural resources were expected to sustain train traffic.

For many years afterwards, the line operated at a loss and was several times threatened with abandonment, its two disconnected segments taken over by the provincial government and its initials - PGE - jokingly was said to mean the "Province's Great Elephant." Today's modern BC Rail system covers over 1,200 miles and barely resembles the old PGE operation, although the fantastic scenery is still there.

Tourists come from around the world to enjoy it, travelling on BC Rail's efficient Rail Diesel Cars or aboard the summertime Royal Hudson Steam Train which offers the continent's last regularly scheduled mainline steam-powered passenger service.This first fully-illustrated history of the PGE and BC Rail includes nearly 400 photographs and illustrations, including 64 pages in full color, showing the trains, stations, people and tracks that make up this fascinating railway.

The informative text includes numerous entertaining first-hand accounts and anecdotes, plus maps and equipment rosters. Readers who have not yet travelled over BC Rail will wonder why, before they finish this volume.

The Golden State of California was once a beehive of interurban electric railways, and the interurban played a major role in the development of intercity public transportation. Replacing the infrequent and costly steam railroad branch line network, the interurban grew and expanded at about the same time as the motor car. The interurban outpaced the motor car until the Depression. But the convenience of the motor car won the battle for users and only those Interurbans that operated freight, express and mail service and offered commuter trains were able to survive until after World War II. The convenience of the automobile and the motor bus triggered the eventual demise of the interurban system.
