An Excellent New Book from Signature Press!
Southern Pacific Lines Standard-Design Depots, Henry E. Bender Jr.
S
outhern Pacific constructed and maintained depots throughout its territory. By 1894 a series of 26 standard plans for depots had been developed, and by the beginning of the 20th century, there were more than 600 SP depots and telegraph offices. This book describes these SP standard structures: when they were built, what they looked like, and when they vanished or were saved. This is a complete, well-illustrated, and outstanding history, which will naturally be of
great interest to fans of the Southern Pacific, but will also be of considerable value to local historians throughout the territory of the Southern Pacific. 320 pages, 437 photos, 46 drawings, bibliography, index. Price: $70
Still available: 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
Free shipping, domestic individual orders
($25 shipping for foreign individual orders, Canada $20) California residents add 8% sales tax per book.
