Steve Crise & Jim Bunte 222 pages hardcover
Bob Gottier (1951-2010) was a lifelong rail photographer from Pomona,
California. When he passed, his massive 20,000-plus slide collection
went to his elderly mother, who eventually donated it to a model
railroad club, where authors Steve Crise and Jim Bunte purchased it. Bob
Gottier, The Forgotten Railfan, is a tribute to his life's work of
photographing the railroads of Southern California, including the
AT&SF, Southern Pacific and Union Pacific. Nearly 200 stunning shots
capture the second- and third-generations of diesel power that
dominated the Southland for generations.
