4.0 out of 5 stars Handy for the Railfan, May 7, 2000
By Joel M Sax (Trabuco Canyon, CA USA) - See all my reviews
The amount of work which went into this work is incredible -- Robertson has not only listed every California railroad, but he has also accumulated huge lists of every engine that ran on most of these roads. To give the entries more context, he has included details about U.S. and California history. The only flaw is that he sometimes sends you to other books in the set for details on important California Roads like the AT&SF. Most railfans will appreciate what he has offered, nonetheless!
