From the Introduction: This book "examines the myriad of Southern Pacific station building designs either erected by the SP, or acquired through purchase, which came to be located in the territory set apart by the railroad as the Coast, Los Angeles and Portland divisions. We have chosen these territories as they existed in the early 1950s, and indeed, the photographs contained herein depict structures primarily as they stood in the early to mid-1950s, although some material dates from earlier periods… statistics regarding the class of each station, elevation, telegraph call letters, stock yards and kind of agency are included where applicable…" Bound in the original pale orange pictorial wraps. 8.5" wide by 11" tall.. 1st ed?
