Rio Grande in Color, Vol. 1: Colorado

Volume 1 in this pictorial history of the post-steam, mainline Rio Grande focuses on operations in Colorado, from Denver through the Rockies to Grand Junction. The photos capture not only the amazing scenery and trackside structures but also pause to look at the different classes of locomotives that made it possible for the line to haul unit coal trains, intermodal trains, and passengers over some of the toughest track in the country. The photos are beautifully crisp and full of detail. With roster, maps. 128 pages.
