It's a visual history of the transition period of the Espee when steam locomotives were working side-by-side with the new diesel-electrics. While still in high school, the author began taking photographs of the locomotives and trains around his Southern California home town. Later when he left his home and went north to college, he had his camera, film and time to enjoy the last of the Southern Pacific at San Luis Obispo.
