Glendale: Trans-Anglo Books, 1984 First edition. Quarto. 224pp. Illustrated throughout with hundreds of black & white photographs, reproductions, advertising, timetables, etc. Index. Brown woodgrain cloth, gilt. A very fine copy with pictorial dust jacket. San Diego was endowed with one of the world's finest harbors, yet its development languished far behind that of its rival port cities because of the lack of transportation. San Diego did not want to be a satellite of Los Angeles, but scheme after scheme to remedy the situation came to naught; part of the problem was the rugged mountain barrier behind the town. Then John D. Spreckels came upon the scene. This book provides a complete history of the situation and tells how Spreckels welded together existing short-line railroads to push through a line to the East, finally overcoming the Carriso Gorge. Thus, the San Diego & Arizona Eastern was born. As the route became unnecessary in modern times, part of the SD&A was upgraded,…
