Description
The Union Pacific and Its Predecessors is a comprehensive history of the Union Pacific railroad, one of the nation's first transcontinental railroads. Formed in 1862, the Union Pacific has been in operation for almost 160 years, having merged or acquired several major railroads over the years to become the second-largest railroad in the US today. This book provides an in-depth look at the railroad's history, including its predecessor railroads, historical routes, equipment, and other features. It also examines the building of the original Union Pacific, as well as the modern Union Pacific, including its freight traffic, steam locomotive development, unique turbine-electric locomotives, and diesel fleet.
