DUST JACKET INTRODUCTION:
Diesels Over Donner is a vivid and personal pictorial of the fascinating parade of Southern Pacific trains across the West's first great mountain railroad. It's a visual history of first-and second-generation diesel locomotive operations before they are replaced by yet a third generation. And it's a dynamic look at the mountains and powerful forces of nature that helped shape the soul of today's Southern Pacific Lines.
Told by legendary photographers Richard Steinheimer and Dick Dorn (and featuring the photographic talents of Shirley Burman and Don Sims), this all-color masterpiece is a work of art you won't soon forget ... and can't afford to miss!
In Diesels Over Donner, Richard Steinheimer uses almost 40 years of his own photographic work to help tell the story of railroading on this famous mountain pass.
He has been called "The Dean of Western Railroad Photographers" for the great creativity brought to his photography and writings about Western rail subjects. His pictures have been used in nearly 60 railroad books by other authors, as well as in five other books by himself or with co-authors Donald Sims or Ted Benson.
He and his wife, Shirley Burman, conduct a commercial photography business from Sacramento, California, with clients including Amtrak, the California State Department of Transportation, Southern Pacific and other agencies and corporations.
