Special thanks to Pauline Grenbeaux Spear who did so much early research on the life of Alfred Hart and who was the first to plan a history of his life. To Glen Willumson who completed Pauline's work and shared much of his research on Hart's railroad years; to Benjamin Biaggini, former president of the Southern Pacific Railroad who generously provided my first Hart views (on glass lantern slides) and many facts on the early history of the railroad; to Jeneane Crawford who worked tirelessly with me in taking, developing and printing the hundreds of photographs appearing here, as well as taking field notes and identifying locations on numerous trips along the CPRR route.

Barry Swackhamer permitted the photographing of many of his rare Hart stereographs appearing in Appendix A, and later proofread parts of the text and provided many of the correct railroad terms needed
