Growing Up with Trains: A Southern California Album (Interurbans Special 83)

This book, with work from many of the country's most noted rail photographers, is an exciting overview of Southern California railroading from the 1930s to the 1980s. Richard Steinheimer has collected more than 150 unique photos (both black and white was well as color) that showcase the entire variety of railroading during those years, from trolleys to main line freights, from the Big Red Cars of the Pacific Electric and the glory days of the Union Pacific's passenger trains on the Cajon Pass to the modern hotshots of today. Each photo is informatively captioned. 112 pages.
