SOUTHERN PACIFIC WATER LINES: Marine, Bay & River Operations of the Southern Pacific System
For over a century, Southern Pacific directly operated, or was affiliated with, numerous ferry, river steamer and ocean-going steamship lines. The various water lines extended the company's rail lines into a much broader market and helped control competition. Further, Southern Pacific relied on numerous construction "navies" to aid completion of such projects as the Great Salt Lake crossing in Utah. Photos, some in color.
