Description:
McMillan Publications, 2010. Hardcover. New. Rio Grande: A Last Look Back 1974-2010. The independent Rio Grande Railroad, a spirited railroad with incredible pride, managed to cut a fine niche for itself as a regional and bridge route in the transportation market. There's lots of D&RGW action in this book at all the familiar places: Tennessee Pass, the Moffat Route, the Utah desert, Ruby Canyon, and other locations, includes more than a dozen track charts and maps that will bring the Rio Grande to life. A great deal of change has occurred in Rio Grande territory over the past 36 years. This nice book features the Rio Grande and the changes made to this popular road under Southern Pacific and Union Pacific ownership. All these changes did not go unrecorded, and are nicely covered in this spectacular volume. This book was produced by Richard Farewell. Contents: Introduction, pp. 6-7, The Moffat Line: Denver to Winter Park, Colorado, pp. 8-91, The Western Slope: Winter Park to Dotsero, Colorado, pp.…

Description:
Colorado Railroad Museum. Hardcover. New. Some of the most magnificent main line railroading anywhere can be found in the western Colorado-eastern Utah desert country. A detailed and photographic history of the route is presented for the first time in R.C. Farewell's Rio Grande Secret Places, Volume II, which portrays both the desert and its Ruby Canyon in spectacular fashion. Pictorial emphasis is on Rio Grande, Southern Pacific and Union Pacific operations in recent years, but a few rare D&RGW steam views are included. Three-dimensional maps highlight key areas. There is coverage of many miles of alignment that were graded but never used, and of obscure desert tidbits such as the Ballard & Thompson Railroad. Colorado Railroad Museum, hardcover with dust jacket, 208 pages, standard portrait book 8 x 10 in., 42 color and over 200 B&W photographs.

Description:
Santa Fe Railway H&M Society. Softcover. New. At first glance, this is an album of the photography of the late Gerry Salsig. But is more than that. It is a labor of love, written by a friend who grew up with the photographer - a testimony of an eye witness and his friends as they made a journey typical of that made by many of us who, while growing up, became fascinated with the railroad known as The Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe. Not only does this book describe the innocence of several friends from the East Bay area of San Francisco as they began to explore their railroad world and experience the sights, sounds and people connected with it, but the author, Patrick D. Flynn - who later became a dispatcher employed by the Santa Fe - adds considerable depth from an insider's point of view as to how Santa Fe operated the west end of the Second District of the Valley Division. This division was operated under time table and train-orders over a three-decade period beginning in the mid-1960s and on into the…

Weekend Chief Publishing. Hardcover. New. This book is about the formation of Transcontinental Air Transport, Inc. (forerunner to TWA), the emergence of air travel in the United States, and for awhile, the blending of air service with the dominant mode of the time, rail travel.

Most photographs are of the airline's equipment and personnel but also rail accommodations are presented. Includes a 6-page color section of ephemera relating to this service. Contents: Ch. 1.

Santa Fe Railway H&M Society. CD book. New. From 1974, this long out-of-print and widely sought book has been digitized into Adobe PDF form, with bookmarking, into DVD form. The book is based on 19 passenger train consist books issued between 1946 and 1971 by the Santa Fe for the use of its officials. It tells what cars would have made up the standard company passenger trains at any given point and date on the railroad. It shows where cars would have been dropped and where picked up along their journey. When the book was originally published, some of the floor plans did not reproduce well. In digitizing this book an attempt has been made to make the diagrams more clear. An index of photographs and drawings has been added to this publication.

A corrected, but separate, title page is included which shows the page numbers. Hardcover, 132 pages, 8.5 x 11 in., B&W photographs There haven't been too many books published regarding the hard-working men of the railroad maintenance-of-way work and life. This is a good title regarding the life and times from a southwest US and Santa Fe experience. Naylor, a track maintenance and construction supervisor for the Santa Fe Railway in New Mexico from 1921 to 1961, upon his death left a fascinating story of his time with the railway. He was an on-the-ground eyewitness to many of the changes on the Santa Fe, making this book a time capsule for both early railroading and life in New Mexico. His narrative provides rare glimpses into the hard life of a railroad track gang working as well as his difficulties as a supervisor and married man with family responsibilities. Naylor…

In this Silver Anniversary Benchmark Publications' Edition, author and artist Malcolm Furlow again shows you how to build your own version of the HOn3 San Juan Central. A new chapter tells what has happened to the railroad and its builder in the past 25 years. This book describes how its author, Malcolm Furlow, built the San Juan Central, an HOn3 model railroad. Malcolm described building this layout in a nine-part series of articles in MODEL RAILROADER magazine (November 1983 to August 1984). These articles were re-published by Kalmbach Books in 1984-as the softbound HO Narrow Gauge Railroad You Can Build. The book went through three printings by Kalmbach over the next seven years.
