| Noted authors Tom Dill and Jack Bowden give a historical look at SPs shortcut from the Overland line to Oregon: the Modoc Line. This tortuous line, with its horseshoe curves, three-percent grades and helper districts made it a favorite with the railfans, but its remote northeast California location made it difficult to visit. This book is a must for SP modelers and fans as it covers an often overlooked, but spectacular area of the railroad. |
