Summary: A good companion to the first volume with great photos
Comment: I bought this book because I enjoyed the first volume so much (see my review for Southern Pacific's Coast Line.)

However, the second volume might be a bit of a letdown to those expecting something similar to the first volume. Signor indeed covered it all the first time around, and therefore does not attempt to do it again in this volume. Southern Pacific's Coast Line Pictorial is exactly what it professes to be, a companion edition that has some great photos. There are over 600 photographs; 140 of which are in color. Richard Steinheimer fans will like this book as 85 of Stein's photographs made it into the book.

I never did verify if there were pictures reprinted in the second volume that also appeared in the first, but if there were, their numbers were small based on my recollection.

The bottom line is that if you loved the first volume of Southern Pacific's Coast Line, then you should buy this volume too. It isn't the narrative with pictures that the first one is, but it compliments the first book nicely. It's priced high but worth it if you're looking for memories of the SP and its premier passenger line. You can always check out Signature Press' website for the description on this book that Amazon seems to be lacking.
