44552771993776New. Hardcover 248 pages 8. 5 x 11 in. Color Photo section roster plans and charts. During the twentieth century the Union Pacific Railroad gained worldwide renown for the development and operation of high output locomotives powered by steam gas-electric and the internal combustion engine. What is less commonly known is that the railroad embraced the internal combustion engine shortly after the turn of the century just 36 years after the driving of the Golden Spike in the form of the gasoline-powered passenger motor car. Although overshadowed by later advancements the passenger motor car of which many design elements would later be adapted to the railroad's famous Streamliners were the inaugural application of internal combustion technology on the Union Pacific. The culmination of decades of research this liberally illustrated volume seeks to tell the definitive story of these unique entries to Union Pacific's nationwide fleet. Contents:. Dedication.

The Panama-Pacific International Exposition PPIE was a major west coast event in 1915. This was an early promotional souvenir albums of the PPIE. The prints are vibrant in colors and clarity. The fold out "Aeroplane View. from Silas Christofferson .at an altitude of 1500 feet" is especially impressive with the color printing of the PPIE grounds over a black and white image of San Francisco. The image -is dated 1914 likely just prior to the official opening by Gabriel Moulin 1872-1945. Moulin was a well known San Francisco architectural photographer of building interiors and views of San Francisco. Likely he hired aviator Silas Christofferson 1890-1916 to take the aerial images. Christofferson was a partner with another early aviator Fred Bennett in an Airship company. In 1914 he set a national record of reaching an altitude of almost 16000 feet flying over Mt. Whitney.<br /> <br /> The 1915 Panama-Pacific International Exposition PPIE was a significant event for San Francisco California and the United States. The planning for the exposition began in 1904 two years before the devastating 1906 earthquake and fire destroyed most of the City and caused significant damage to most of the bay area. As part of the rebuilding and recovery efforts for San Francisco the PPIE world fair opened in February 1915 to enthusiastic crowds. The over 600 acres were beautifully designed and promoted as a community of eleven exhibition "palaces" 21 foreign pavilions 48 State buildings and a 65 acre amusement zone. The design of the buildings and grounds was an inspirational mix of Greco Romanesque style with modern architectural artistic and technological elements. Until closing in December 1915 over 18 million visitors enjoyed the exposition the City and California. After closing most of the "temporary" buildings were demolished except for the Fine Arts Palace lake and grounds designed by Bernard Maybeck and still in use in 2021 and a few others relocated. The San Francisco Legion of Honor art museum is a replica of the PPIE French pavilion. The land was intended to be sold off for residential and commercial development which is now known as the Marina District. Pacific Novelty Co unknown
