About this title

Synopsis

Handsomely done and serious history of the Southern Pacific's San Ramon branch line. The book provides detailed information on each station and how the railroad affected the growth of the surrounding community, providing invaluable information for anyone interested in Contra Costa County history. The book also illuminates how the local farmers' original push for the line and SP's very success in hauling passengers and freight opened the area up to development that replaced agriculture with residential living which eventually killed the line. Illustrated throughout with black and white photos as well as numerous maps. Includes list of SP station agents and employees for the branch, SP alignment map and station plats, as well as a bibliography. 288 pages with index.
