Description: Bonanza Railroads by Gilbert H Kneiss (1963) 2nd Printing -California/Nevada Gilbert Kneiss was an official of the Western Pacific Railroad and Vice President of The Railway and Locomotive Historical Society. His Bonanza Railroads was a pioneer effort of railroad history publications started in the 1930's by contemporary authors Lucius Beebe and Charles Clegg. Though very general in nature it is an authoritative piece and set the stage for the many detailed rail histories to follow the end of World War II. Kneiss was technical advisor to "Railroads on Parade" at the New York World's Fair and Director of "Cavalcade" at the Golden Gate International Exposition at Treasure Island in 1939-40. He befriended Lucius Beebe in storage of his private railcar "Gold Coast" in the Stockton Roundhouse of the Western Pacific in the 1950's prior to its donation to the California State Railroad Museum. Kneiss' volume belongs on the shelf of any true Western Rail Historian. He is truly one of the pioneers of railway history and preservation.
