The focus of this compilation on depots and agencies is Santa Fe's Valley Division from Barstow to San Francisco. Also discussed, in addition to the original trackage of the San Joaquin Valley Railway and later that of the Santa Fe en route to the bay area, is the Sunset Railway and the Southern Pacific; which includes the Mojave to Kern Junction line via Tehachapi Loop and a handful of branch lines that SP jointly owned or operated with the Santa Fe. But this is not just a book about depots, it is also a history of the Valley Division, and includes AT&SF Ry. train, ferry steamship and bus operations, interlocking towers and Fred Harvey service. This publication, including rare timetable and depot drawing reproductions, is a valuable research tool for historians, modeler and railfans alike.
