Though a warrior may be called a dog, what is foremost is for him to win -- so begins the code of the Samurai Bulldog. Doggedly loyal to his Master, the Samurai Bulldog s one-pointed concentration combines with jaws of steel & 4-paw drive to make him a force to be reckoned with. Practicing the ancient Way of Bulldog-do, he s a master of the military arts & a canny leader who has perfected the 10 Strategies & the Secret Schemes of the Ninja Bulldog. But he s accomplished in the arts of peace as well, From Zen ( What is the bark of no-bark? Woof! ) to literature (The Book of 5 Bowls). Illustrated with delightful ink drawings, Samurai Bulldog will appeal to all top dogs, as well as their retainers.

"128 pages, over 260 color photographs. Southern Pacific author and historian, Tom Dill continues his coverage of the vast system - all in vivid color! Not only are the Coast and Los Angeles Divisions covered, but also the Western Division - the major feeder to the Coast Line. There are loads of steam and first generation diesels with a touch of second generation diesels as well. See Santa Fe freights detouring on the SP due to the 1952 Tehachapi earthquake, demonstrator diesels working the Coast Line, and much more. A must have for steam, diesel, or Southern Pacific fans.

Southern Pacific's Sunset Route Color Pictorial

Railroad workers, Bowdon current and Dill retired, recount the story of the railway built to ship lumber from southern Oregon to the major east-west routes in California. After small companies had failed in the attempt, Southern Pacific opened the line in 1929. Not until after World War II was the traffic forecasted actually achieved, and by the late 1980s, there was barely enough tonnage to warrant a single daily train in each direction. Monochrome photographs abound. No mention is made of the people for whom the line was named. Annotation (c) Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
