>I thought the SPH&TS's book a few years ago "Southern Pacific's Golden Empire, 1954-1958" was very mediocre also. It was very repititious like multiple photos of the same train.

This book also had really inaccurate photo captions. For example, the bottom photo on Pg. 120 was taken at Taylor Roundhouse, not at Bakersfield. The photo of the 1955 Pacific Railroad Society excursion train on pg. 140 didn't show it "leaving Bakersfield;" the photo was taken at Caliente. The photos of the 1958 excursion train on pgs. 164-165 weren't taken on "the Ojai Branch;" they were taken between Castaic and Piru on the Santa Paula Branch. The photo of the 1958 excursion train on the bottom of pg. 169 was not taken "at Oxnard" but rather at Saugus.
