About the book >.>.> The name Southern Pacific in the United States and through- out the world became synony- mous with steam locomotives. A Southern Pacific locomotive personified in all minds the best in design performance and style. When the rails of the Central Pacific and Union Pacific wed in 1869 the pioneer days of the West came to a close. Southern Pacific rails spread across the West while the development of the steam loco- motive was spurred ahead by ever-increasing demand for more efficient and heavier power. (LL)
