Much has been written about the Southern Pacific Railroad. A focus of wealth power and political control in the Golden State Southern Pacific was on the scene close behind the Spanish molding and shaping the California we know today. And nowhere is this more evident than in the San Joaquin Valley. Pioneer Central Pacific entered the valley building south out of Lathrop in the fall of 1870 reaching Tipton in the very heart of the San Joaquin Valley in late July 1872. At this point Southern Pacific continued the work. Surmounting the Tehachapi mountains the railroad forked with one line heading to The Needles on the Colorado River and the other to Los Angeles which was opened for traffic in 1876. Along the way the railroad founded and platted many of the cities that exist today. For instance Fresno was surveyed and staked out in May 1872 in an area where there was no habitation and "the ground was like a graveled school yard." Accumulating vast land grants in the progress SP had land to sell and built branch lines to new and promising areas promoting the potential profits to be made to eastern farmers. At its zenith prior to World War II the San Joaquin Division encompassed a little over 876 miles of first main track. This volume covers the rise and fall of this great enterprise from its initial construction to its expansion and sadly its decline through 1996. While including new information and many unpublished photographs in the mountains it also covers in depth the vast network of secondary and branch lines once a part of the division.

44449730691248New. This is a pictorial with over 400 roster and action photographs of SP Pacific Lines steam during World War II and the dozen years afterward as the roster declined. Almost all of the pictures show engines at work or at least ready to run. There is a condensed roster and some text but the main effort was to present caption information that would explain what is going on in the picture - not just what and when but why. Photographic examples are included of almost every class of Pacific Lines steam engine that operated in this time span with chapters on each wheel arrangement. Many of the images were made from negatives that are sixty or even seventy years old and yet the photograph reproduction is quite good. Contents:. Introduction pp. 2–15.

While it could be argued that Sacramento California was the point from which the vast Southern Pacific Railroad System grew it was San Francisco which became the nucleus of wealth power and political influence that was to become the Southern Pacific Company. Here the railroad system was planned financed and managed. Southern 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. Within 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. The 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. Southern 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. At 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. This 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.

In 1959 the Southern Pacific Railroad found itself in need of higher horsepower diesel locomotives to move their increasing freight traffic across the Sierras. As American locomotive manufactures could not meet the SP requirements the company began looking overseas. In Munich Germany they found that Krauss Maffei a respected locomotive builder was producing diesel-hydraulic locomotives rated at 4000 horsepower. Southern Pacific and KM Hydraulics is the story of the building of these locomotives in Germany and of operating them in the United States. Robert J. Zenk working with KM and SP records first-person accounts and a mechanical study of the sole surviving unit has authored an interesting history of the rise and fall of the hydraulic locomotives on the Southern Pacific. There are detailed studies of each the 21 SP locomotives the use of 9010 as the SP camera car and the locomotive's rebirth at the Niles Canyon Railway.

44449730658480New. This title is published by Shade Tree Books but apparently the Southern Pacific Historical and Technical Society is selling the first copies. This is both an historical account with many Black and White photographs and a pictorial with many large Black and White and Color photographs. All eras of the Southern Pacific are presented in color: steam locomotives early diesels later diesels MetroLink and Consolidated Rock Products which is part of the Other Railroads in the Valley chapter. There are some track diagrams depot plans though very small each one fills a page and tables of customers and other data. Overall this is a very detailed work. Located north of the Los Angeles basin the San Fernando Valley was home to a portion of both the San Joaquin main line and the Coast main line and the entire Burbank Branch. The author traces the history of Southern Pacific in the area from the 1850s when it just an idea the construction of both main lines and the branch line the operational history of the railroad and the end of the Southern Pacific in 1996. Iconic locations such as Glendale station Burbank Junction and the three tunnels in Chatsworth through Santa Susana Pass were the stomping grounds of both famous and unknown photographers. Many of the photographs are published for the first time. The steam era covers little 4-4-0s to massive cab-forwards. The diesel era covers the freight and passenger locomotives that dieselized the railroad to the end of the Southern Pacific with SD70Ms and AC4400s. One chapter is dedicated to other railroads in the valley including Amtrak Metrolink quarry railroads and two monorails. Included are thirty-two pages of full-color photography from Daylight locomotives to the last days of scarlet and gray. Contents:.

John Signor is a great author on United States railroad subjects and combined with his illustrator skills this is a great book to have in your library - all 6 lbs. of it! This book is filled with so much information on Southern Pacific's Los Angeles Division. Maps diagrams of yards lists of local freights tonnage diagrams passenger trains and schedules through freight times and names historical B&W photographs Color photographs of the late steam era up the late 1980s and a short discussion of SP's electrification study and so much more! From the first stirring of a Los Angeles & San Pedro Railroad locomotive in January 1869 to the merger with Union Pacific on September 11 1996 Southern Pacific's Los Angeles Division in all of its manifestations was an engine of growth and prosperity in Southern California. It employed many thousands over the years in its offices shops and trains. It brought settlers west established towns brought war workers in and sent the troops home. Much has been written about the Southern Pacific and its subsidiaries in the Southland. This volume was conceived to augment these works by tracing the long and involved operating history of the Southern Pacific as it first helped to create Southern California then later adapted to cope with its explosive growth. Accompanying the text are over 1000 photographs-most never published including 456 in color plus timetables and other ephemera and 76 maps many of which are rendered in the author's unique "bird's eye view" style. With Los Angeles as a destination of significance from the beginning the author has been able to draw from a wealth of historic material on the subject preserved by the railway itself official repositories interested employees and other individuals which includes photographs firsthand experiences and the day-to-day paperwork that documented how SP operated in Southern California. Southern Pacific's Los Angeles Division is sure to find a place on the bookshelves of those interested in the SP or the history of Southern California as a whole. Contents:. New. Hardcover. John R.
