Title: An excellent look at not only the SP, but of the CA Coast
Product review: I acquired this book because of the UP merger of the SP. I wanted to have a memory of the trains that used to roll by home every day of my youth. This book did exactly that.The book covers every Coast Line station (active and inactive) from Los Angeles to San Francisco/Oakland. If you can remember the Scarlet and Gray then this book is for you. However, the best part of this book doesn't just stop with the trains.Reading this book will give you a perspective on the California Coast and the Salinas Valley. Reading this book will help you see why the CA Coast developed the way it did.Just as the book says, nothing quite says California like the image of a Daylight train rolling along the Pacific Coast through Gaviota.If you can remember a time when the CA dream existed and when the land from SF to LA was only braved by a train, then you should buy this book.
