And particularly in the West, depots were often landmark structures. Southern Pacific and its predecessor railroads constructed and maintained depots throughout their territory. Between 1877 and 1894 a series of 26 numbered standard plans for depots was developed, and each plan was successively in use for a few years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy the beginning of the 20th century, there were more than 600 SP depots and telegraph offices. By then, many older depots, as well as most new ones at that time, had been or would be built to these standards. This book describes those depots. The story of depots in SP's far-flung territory is an interesting one: when they were built, what they looked like, and when they were destroyed or were saved.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eParticularly for smaller communities, the depot was once an integral part of local life, so the life stories of these depots are an integral part of town history. In addition to the 26 numbered standard depot designs, SP also built a number of other de facto standard depots, such as the colonnade style, and several such designs are described here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlso included are a group of stuccoed depots, modernized from older buildings, as well as standard-design depots built by predecessor railroads, such as the El Paso \u0026amp; Southwestern. Southern Pacific built each depot with an eye to what was expected to be needed. The overall size of the depot often reflected current or anticipated town size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe agent had quarters upstairs in a two-story depot, essential in places where suitable local housing was not available, but otherwise a one-story depot would be built. Freight rooms were sized according to the expected Volume of business. Well-known depot historian Henry Bender has extensively researched this subject, and presents here an authoritative account of hundreds of SP standard depots, illustrated with a fine collection of photographs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe jacket painting is by noted railroad artist John R. Signor. Enthusiasts of the Southern Pacific Railroad will find this detailed account of particular value, but fans of other railroads, and local historians throughout the territory of the Southern Pacific, will also find much of interest.

Here the railroad system was planned, financed and managed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSouthern Pacific was one of the first large corporations to make San Francisco its headquarters and was for many years California's largest employer, and largest landowner - except for the federal government - in most of the states it operated in. Underscoring the city's importance, San Francisco was milepost zero in a system that identified the locations of all points on the vast Southern Pacific Railroad west of El Paso, by their distance from San Francisco.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWithin the city itself, SP employed thousands of people over the years in its offices, shops, yards and on its trains, streetcars, ferries and steamships. The railroad gave unselfishly to the relief work that followed the earthquake and fire of 1906. Yet it is in San Francisco that we find the origin of the sobriquet, \"the Octopus\", which appeared in editorials criticizing the company's monopoly of the city's streetcar systems, long before the popular novel of the same name was published.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe opulence of its high-ranking officials added fuel to the fire. San Francisco was the only point on the former Southern Pacific system - or west of the Mississippi for that matter- that has enjoyed daily commuter rail service for nearly 160 years, mostly under SP management. And it was out of San Francisco that the last of the SP mainline steam locomotives operated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSouthern Pacific moved into what would become its final decades of activity in San Francisco with a spirit of optimism and innovation, yet railroad freight operations eventually withered under intense pressure from other forms of transportation, competition from the Port of Oakland, mergers, and the flight of rail-served industry and warehousing from the city in the face of escalating property values.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt this point, Southern Pacific's greatest asst was the critical real estate it controlled in the city, which it attempted to leverage for much-needed cash. Ultimately by 1996, and the merger with Union Pacific Railroad, Southern Pacific for all intents and purposes had disappeared from San Francisco entirely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis then is the story of the rise and fall of this once great corporation in San Francisco in all of its manifestations spanning 132 years, focusing primarily on its rail operations within the San Francisco Terminal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eContents:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIntroduction\/Acknowledgements, pp. 6–11\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePre-Fire 1864-1906, pp. 12–63\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDisaster April 14, 1906, pp. 64–75\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eExpansion 1907-1930, pp. 76–154\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLate Steam Era 1930-1960, pp. 155–285\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRailroading to Real Estate 1960-1996, pp. 286–337\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEpilogue, pp. 338–339\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBibliography, pg. 340\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIndex, pp. 341–343.

Slipped in among these high-horsepower units were fifteen B23-7 locomotives delivered in 1980. In 1987-89, 95 new B39 and Dash 8 Techno-Toasters were added to the roster, along with 195 GP60s from GM Locomotive Group. Once a tractive effort railroad,the SP was re-inventing itself as a cross-country intermodal conveyor belt in competition with the Union Pacific and the Santa Fe.At the same time, control of the SP migrated to Rio Grande Industries, then gearing up for a boom in transportation of Colorado-mined coal for power plants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGE was again able to meet the needs of the combined Rio Grande-SP, first with the comfort cab Dash 9-44CW (direct current) six-axle locomotive and, finally, with the dramatic capstone to the Southern Pacific diesel roster of 279 AC4400CW diesels-delivered in the short span of seven months in 1995. In all, 620 modern General Electric diesel units were delivered to the SP and the Cotton Belt between 1978 and 1995.Their story is told in Volume 19, in 144 pages with 250 photographs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach delivery phase of each GE model is given its own chapter. While GE locomotives were not very popular in the resale market, many are documented in the popular Graduates' chapter.
