About this Item

The first volume of Anthony W. Thompson's masterly 5-volume history of the Southern Pacific Railroad and its cars. "Southern Pacific freight cars have been largely ignored -- until now. This is the first book in a series which will cover all of the SPs freight car fleet, and an impressive beginning it is. Painstakingly researched, it provides a highly detailed history of SP gondolas and stock cars, complete with roster information and other data. A large number of well reproduced photos combined with authoritative text and captions render this an essential book for Southern Pacific devotees and modelers, as well as for others interested in freight car history." This 1st Edition/1st Printing *SIGNED* without inscription on the title page, is new and unread although it had sitting on the shelves for a long time and has a few tiny flaws: the two top corners of the covers are each just ever-so-slightly bumped (about 1/16"-1/8" each). The dust jacket has some very slight shelf wear and the inside front flap is creased. Still, a fantastic find that any railroad enthusiast would truly appreciate. We will bubble-wrap it to protect the corners and ship it in a sturdy box to ensure safe delivery. Its heavy so expedited shipping or shipping to Canada, Mexico or overseas will cost a little extra.
