Here is an all-color pictorial of a railroad about which no one is neutral: the Southern Pacific. For those who love this proud, arrogant company, this book presents a retrospective on railroading in Oregon and Northern California from the mid 1960s- until the early 1990s. These were years of transition and, unfortunately, decline of the SP's influence in the Beaver State: however, the photographs and extended captions presented here emphasize the railroad in its former, healthy condition.
Over 190 photographs of this line illustrate the dramatic geographic and geologic conditions through which the Southern Pacific's various Oregon Division lines were built, including the Willamette, Western Oregon, Siskiyous, Cascade, Modoc, and Shasta Lines. This is just one in a series of books that provides a definitive look at what was once the most significant railroad in the American West.
"Some people may enjoy railroad books primarily because of their historical information and text. I am a modeler; I buy railroad books primarily for their photos and captions. If your preferences parallel mine, I strongly urge you to pick up a copy of Southern Pacific Oregon Division by Brian Jennison and Victor Neves. ... Need I add, then, that Southern Pacific Oregon Division earns out highest rating? It is superb." -- Russ Reinberg, Finescale Railroader
