California has always been a destination for the traveling public. Since the days of the Big Four as they were known, the original builders and promoters of the Central Pacific, people have ridden the rails to see what the West Coast had to offer. Perhaps never more so than during the Streamliner Era of the 1950’s right up until Amtrak. Trains like the Super Chief, The Rocket, California Zephyr and The Sunset Limited drew the attention of those traveling between the Midwest and Gulf Coast and the golden coast of California. This book illustrates several of the locomotives and rolling stock used during this era on these trains. Roster information is given for the locomotives shown, and general specifications for the locomotives as well. Ads are included from the era to show how the railroads communicated their trains to the public. See the beautiful color schemes applied to the locomotives and the rolling stock. Steam locomotives are shown, including the Santa Fe’s “Blue Goose” as well as what many would call the most beautiful steam locomotive ever built, The Southern Pacific’s Daylights. Maps are included for each railroad.So sit back and relax while you view many of America’s most spectacular passenger trains from the Golden Age of American Railroading, when movie stars, businessmen and vacationers rode the High Iron to the Golden State.
