Two Outstanding New Books from Signature Press! Rails Around Lake Tahoe, Mallory Hope Ferrell
Lake Tahoe lies near the eastern crest of the Sierra Nevada, along the California-Nevada boundary. Its first railroads, nearly all narrow gauge, were logging roads, delivering mine timbers and cordwood from mills at lakeside to the Comstock mines in Virginia City. Steamboats plied the waters to move people and log booms. As the logging finally began to decline, it was recognized that tourism was the next opportunity for development around the lake. A short narrow-gauge railroad was built, to connect with the Southern Pacific at Truckee and bring tourists to the lakeshore, and new steamboats carried travelers around the lake. In 1925 the SP acquired and standard-gauged this line, and finally abandoned it in 1941. But the story of the steam trains and steamboats is a vivid part of Lake Tahoe’s history. 256 pages, 294 photos, 55 maps and graphics, rosters, bibliography, index. Price: $60
Union Pacific in the Los Angeles Basin, Jeff S. Asay
Union Pacific was a latecomer to Southern California, not arriving until 1901, as a part owner of the San Pedro, Los Angeles & Salt Lake Railroad. But the history of this part of the UP is com- plex. It is all here, from the predecessor railroads, through Depression, war, and many postwar changes and adjustments, including many complications at the ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles. Also fascinating are the relations with Santa Fe, Pacific Electric and Southern Pacific. Tis book will be of great interest to UP fans and those interested in Southern California history. 496 pages, 562 photos, 60 maps, 100 graphics, bibliography, index. Price: $80
