[QUOTE]Originally posted by SteveD: [QB] Good Lord found Santa Ana Branch a blessing? In reviewing a history of the Irvine Ranch recently I came accross a quotation attributed to the editor of the Anaheim Gazette, upon the arrival of the S.P. to the region. "With this [railroad] system in operation, there is assured a paradise of wealth and refinement in Southern California. All praise to God, Who has smiled upon our land with an exceedingly gracious smile." I never saw the citation in the newspaper personally, but trust the author. All O.C.'s glory and success can be attributed to the rail line featured on this thread--you bet! This contrasts only slightly with the opposing view which held the railroad to be the devil incarnate. [This message has been edited by SteveD (edited 07-09-2003).] [/QB][/QUOTE]
