Description
 
Gone forever, except for old photographs, yellowing paper and fading memories, are the glory days of Colorado narrow gauges. Yet, it is still possible to capture smoke and steam in action today on some of these lines, recalling the great days of the narrow gauges.
Today, it is difficult to comprehend the vast amounts of energy, money and manpower that went into the construction of these twisting railways in the very heart of the Rocky Mountains. Fortunately, a few of these wonderful lines have continued to steam down through the years. Abandoned grades and artifacts provide memories of many others. The courage, determination and sheer "guts" of such undertakings are impressive and awe-inspiring, even after well over a century later.
Hardcover; Author: Mallory Hope Ferrell
