Railroads of Colorado

by Claude Wiatrowski

Description: Railroads of Colorado explores the fascination these improbable railways inspire and transports readers back a century, providing the history of these unique railroads, the engineering that paved their way into the mountains, and the men who built and ran them. Along with sharp color and historical photography, Railroads of Colorado includes ideas for exploring Colorado's railroads; both the ghosts of long-gone trains that haunt the mountains and the restored trains whose whistles still echo off those granite peaks. It also contains a map showing the routes of more than thirty Colorado railroads and a railroad directory, which lists contact information for thirteen operating passenger trains. Hardcover.
