Description

Bob Knoll was born in Michigan in 1935 and developed an appreciation for trains in 1950-51 as he grew up in the East. A family move to Tucson in 1951 exposed him to Southern Pacific. Camera in hand, he began to document SP's Sunset Route mainline in Tucson, which was still under steam. After getting his driver's license, his railfanning range expanded to include SP's Tucson Division, as well as frequent trips to Nogals and beyond into the Republic of Mexico to photograph ex-SPdeMex steam still in operation.
Over the years, examples of Bob's work have appeared in Trains Magazine, and several books. Throughout, Bob was privileged to have experienced the Southern Pacific on a variety of levels; as a wet-behind-the-ears railfan with a camera, later as an employee, and finally as a shipper and favored VIP. The Photos in this volume record that journey of over four decades from the steam days in the early 1950s through the merger in 1996.
