<p>Cloth with dust jacket, 9.25x12.25" oversize horizontal format, 240 glossy pages. 2014. "Western Pacific was a railroad in transition on Jan 1, 72. The resolute David in a marketplace dominated by Southern Pacific's Goliath, long perceived as the scrappy good guy who always tried harder, WP almost succumbed to its positive image. "Brought down by the financial burden of the California Zephyr and changing traffic patterns in the post-Vietnam 1970s, the freight-only WP faced a life-or-death battle in an evolving economy. Along the way, the Feather River Route reclaimed the national spotlight by hiring one of the country's most-talked about railroad executives, Alfred E. Perlman. Surviving to merge with Union Pacific in 1982, WP's final hours were, in many ways, its finest. "72-82, Western Pacific's Final Decade", is a look at the last independent years of an uncommon carrier. A four-way collaboration between photographers Ted Benson, Dick Dorn, Dale Sanders and Dave Stanley, the book documents a significant chapter in the history of this regional railroad.</p>
