The Western Pacific

From 1909 to 1982, upstart Western Pacific fought for survival among much bigger, well establish railroads in its home territory. In its later years, WP was divided into seven operating divisions, each with an individual character, unique operating challenges, and distinct scenic elements, and operated two two wholly-owned subsidiaries; the Sacramento Northern and the Tidewater Southern. This book covers all seven subdivisions and both shortlines in 256 pages, lavishly illustrated with 410 full-color photographs and 11 detailed maps.
