WPLives 19th Nov 2021		Book Southern Pacific Historical And Technical Society - Rail Passenger Service History (1995)	Pacific Electric Railway (PERy) was created in 1901 with Henry Edwards Huntington as principal stockholder. Huntington completed the first PE line in 1902 which ran from Los Angeles to Long Beach. He later sold his shares to Southern Pacific in 1910. In 1911 the “Great Merger” took place. Although continuing to operate under the Pacific Electric name, Southern Pacific Railway merged PERy with nearly all of the interurban railways in a four-county region of Southern California. PERy grew to connect various cities across the Los Angeles metropolitan area. PERy vehicles were commonly known as the Red Cars, the most obvious feature distinguishing PERy cars from the "Yellow Car" vehicles operated by the Los Angeles Railway. As patronage on passenger rail lines declined after the second World War, PERy began converting rail routes to bus service. Eventually, in 1953, PERy sold its passenger operations to the Metropolitan Coach Lines. Metropolitan Coach Lines continued the conversion from rail passenger service to bus passenger service and the final former Pacific Electric Railway passenger rail line was converted to bus service in 1961. Southern Pacific Railway eventually abolished the Pacific Electric Railway Company in 1965, folding what little mileage remained of PERy’s freight operation into Southern Pacific’s own operation.

WPLives 10th Nov 2021		Book Mark Effle - I.N.L. (1978)	OUR COVER PHOTO A MIGHTY SYMBOL of electric traction in wartime America was the Milwaukee Road's western electrification, and on April 2, 1944, Cpl. Ira L. Swett planted both feet firmly in the snow at Avery, Montana, while the photographer captured both the editor and his life's work--the electric railway. Boxcab locomotive E12 was heading up a troop train, and Swett long remembered that Seattle-to-Tampa ride in a swaying, drafty Pullman car. (Interurbans)

WPLives 24th Oct 2021		Book Jim Walker - Pacific Electric Red Cars (2007)	Of the rail lines created at the turn of the 20th century, in order to build interurban links through Southern California communities around metropolitan Los Angeles, the Pacific Electric grew to be the most prominent of all. The Pacific Electric Railway is synonymous with Henry Edwards Huntington, the capitalist with many decades of railroad experience, who formed the "P.E." and expanded it as principal owner for nearly its first decade. Huntington sold his PE holdings to the giant Southern Pacific Railroad in 1910, and the following year the SP absorbed nearly every electric line in the four-county area around Los Angeles in the "Great Merger" into a "new" Pacific Electric. Founded in 1901 and terminated in 1965, Pacific Electric was known as the "World's Great Interurban."

Glancing out of my coach window at all those youthful "train Spotters" at the world's busiest station impressed me with the universality of liking trains. In this book we'll take you on a spin around Northern California over the last five decades, touching down here and there to see the trains that people loved, and to learn a little about some of the fans who took the pictures. The 16 pages of color give us the chance to add another dimension to our appreciation of trains, and the chance to try out some personal color layout ideas.

WPLives 6th Oct 2021		Book Guy L. Dunscomb - A Century Of Southern Pacific Steam Locomotives (1963)	Century of Southern Pacific Steam Locomotives by Guy L Dunscomb with dust jacket. Includes map supplement and amplifications/additions adn corrections Copyright 1963 THIRD EDITION first printing 1984 480 pages Section One-----------------------19-362 Steam locomotive photographs Section Two--------------------363-433 Corporate history Section Three-------------------Miscellaneous Electric cars, McKeen Cars, Gas Electric cars, more photos, etc. 800 illustrations, 2 color plates, 18 division maps. The historic Southern Pacific, the road whose rails extend from the Pacific Ocean to the Great Salt Lake, and from the forests of Oregon to the Mississippi has operated or controlled over 16,000 miles of railroad. It operated in eight states and the Republic of Mexico; it had the longest north-south route of any railroad on the North American continent; it operated nearly a thousand miles of electric lines, and over a thousand miles of narrow gauge lines, San Francisco Bay and Mississippi River ferry boats, Sacramento and Colorado River steamers, and oceangoing steamships, and now operates, in addition to its rail properties, fourteen hundred miles of pipe lines and twenty-five thousand miles of truck lines. It was in February, 1863, that active construction started at Sacramento on the SP's parent Central Pacific, and was carried on under the management of the famed "Big Four," Huntington, Hopkins, Crocker, and Stanford, until a connection was made with the Union Pacific at Promontory, Utah, in May, 1869. Since that date nearly three hundred railroad organizations have been consolidated to form what is known today as the Southern Pacific Company, and over four thousand steam locomotives have appeared on the scene, and have now forever departed. It is of these locomotives and companies that this book is written, for of all that has previously appeared in print, nothing has presented the pictorial coverage of the steam locomotives that is found here, nor has there ever before been a systematic listing of all the companies, well-known and obscure, that took their place in the forming of the west's largest transportation system. Included as a supplement to the book is a set of eighteen maps covering the SP empire when it was at its greatest, and by the use of these maps and the text in the book, the reader may trace the development of practically every mile of railroad now or previously under Southern Pacific control.
WPLives 6th Oct 2021		Book Guy L. Dunscomb - A Century Of Southern Pacific Steam Locomotives (1963)	158 pages plus 6 unnumbered pages of detail photos. Illustrated by photographs including a color plate at page xii by M.F. Kotowski (also used for jacket art), engineering diagrams and schematics. An excellent book which includes interesting text on robberies, accidents, technical information and pictures of all 60 of these oddly configured 3-cylinder behemoths used in the US. Description Between 1900 and 1950, Americans built the most powerful steam locomotives of all time--enormous engines that powered an industry of colossal scale and intensity. They were deceptively simple machines yet even as the technology was being perfected it was becoming obscure (and obsolete.) Despite immense and sustained effort, they remained grossly inefficient in their use of increasingly costly fuel and labor. In the end, they baffled their masters and, as soon as diesel-electric technology provided an alternative, the steam locomotive disappeared from American railroads. Drawing on the work of eminent engineers and railroad managers of the day, this lavishly illustrated history chronicles the challenges, triumphs and failures of steam locomotive development and operation.
