Item description from seller

v, [1], 122 pages. Maps. Figures. Tables. References. Cover has slight wear. This is volume 2 of the Kalmbach Memorial Library series. Anthony W. Thompson earned a Ph.D. in metallurgy from M.I.T. in 1970, worked as a faculty member at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh and at the University of California, Berkeley. He has long had an interest in the history of the Southern Pacific Railroad and in one of its subsidiaries, Pacific Fruit Express. He was the principal author of the 1992 book, Pacific Fruit Express and of the 1999 book, Southern Pacific's Coast Line Pictorial, co-authored with John R. Signor. He is active in historical societies, and served more than ten years on the national Board of the Railway and Locomotive Historical Society. He has been on the Board of Directors of the Southern Pacific Historical and Technical Society since 1991, and has also served five years as President of the Society. This volume presents four papers from the Second Symposium and three paper from the Third Symposium. Perhaps the most noteworthy paper is Larry Kline's "The Evolution of the Box Car, 1850-1990". Other topics of presentations are: The USRA Style Reefers of the SFRD (by C. Keith Jordan); East-West Traffic Flow--A Case History (by Jeff English); Railroad Advertising (by Anthony Thompson); Meet Reefers--A History (by Martin Lofton); A Ride on No. 32 (by Tom Greco); and Service Performance of Railroad Rails (by Anthony Thompson). The A. C. Kalmbach Memorial Library in Chattanooga became the official railroad library of the State of Tennessee when Governor Phil Bredesen signed Senate Bill No. 2280 into law on May 10, 2004. In 2019 the Kalmbach Memorial Library was merging with the California State Railroad Museum to create an even larger research Library.
