Volume 1 of this series is a history of the pioneering Orange County railroads -- the Southern Pacific, the Southern California Railway (Santa Fe), and the Santa Ana & Newport -- as well as of the Pacific Electric and its predecessors,  from the horse-drawn cars to the Red Cars. This is a fascinating look at Orange County when it was a farm area (producing a variety of produce and livestock as well as oranges) with a very small population, explaining how the railroads helped to create and sustain one of America's premier agricultural areas. Illustrated throughout with black and white photographs of the trains and the stations. With railroad maps of Fullerton, Orange, Newport Beach, Anaheim and Santa Ana. With locomotive rosters for the Santa Ana line. Decorative end papers show 1928 Orange County railroad map. 144 pages.
