"...Suffice it to say, for over a century Southern Pacific's various water lines operated as an integral part of the system, making connection with the freight and passenger rail service and extending the company's reach into a much wider market. This volume is intended as an overview of the history, operations, legend and lore of this side of the Southern Pacific - something that has not been gathered together under one cover before - illustrated with an adequate amount of maps, photos and other material to give the reader a clearer picture of this fascinating side of the railroad's business."
