Sunset Limited by Richard J Orsi
The only major US railroad to be operated by westerners and the only railroad built from west to east, the Southern Pacific acquired a unique history and character. It also acquired a reputation, especially in California, as a railroad that people loved to hate. This title tells the story of the Southern Pacific.
"Sunset Limited will undoubtedly assume a prominent and enduring place among the essential histories of.. the American West."--American Studies Journal
