‎Denver & Rio Grande: The Early Years‎

‎New. White River Productions hardcover 256 pages 12 x 9 x.75 in. Black & White photographs and Color illustrations. This title generally has one large image per page. As this is a larger format book the images are quite large. The photographs are sharp so there is a lot of detail in them to investigate. There are a number of locomotive illustrations in color which are very nice to give you an idea of how colorful the early locomotives were. Each one seems to be its own work of art. It was a glorious period that has been termed the days of "wooden cars and iron men." Today it is difficult to even comprehend the tremendous amounts of energy manpower and money that went into constructing the Denver & Rio Grande into and across the Rocky Mountains. The courage determination and sheer guts of such an undertaking are impressively apparent today on the two remaining portions of three-foot gauge trackage out of Durango Colorado and Chama New Mexico. By 1883 William Jackson Palmer's "Narrow Gauge Transcontinental" mainline stretched 771 miles from Denver Colorado to Ogden Utah. The Pullman sleeper-equipped Pacific Express westbound and the eastbound Atlantic Express operated on a forty-one and a-half hour schedule and was trailed by "named" parlor cars. Elsewhere on the Cumbres Pass line in southern Colorado and northern New Mexico the daily Colorado & New Mexico Express ran in both directions between Salida Alamosa and Durango with a helper being added for the 14 miles of steep four-percent grade between Chama and the 10015-foot summit at Cumbres. A hike along the abandoned grades over Marshall Cerro Summit and Poncha Pass is sure to bring visions of a small 2-8-0 Consolidation and a diminutive 4-6-0 Ten-Wheeler as they blasted upgrade with an 1890s varnish run. You can almost hear the double header's exhaust smell the coal smoke mixed with valve oil and feel the saturated steam as the consist passes. After over 60 years of research and what the late Robert W. Richardson termed "picture hunting" this book is a pictorial history of the D&RG's narrow gauge. The Rio Grande Glory Days are preserved here in rare old photographs and art. Climb aboard for the ride of your life as we relive the days when the world and the Rio Grande were young. Almost every quality photograph available from 1873 to 1921 has been included in this volume. No Rio Grande or early railroading enthusiast will want to be without Ferrell's 22nd and last book.

‎Rio Grande: Heart of the Rockies‎

‎New. White River Productions hardcover with jacket 192 pages 12 x 9 x.75 in. 256 all Color photographs 6 maps. Rio Grande: Heart of the Rockies looks at the dramatic influence of railroad builder David H. Moffat on the Denver & Rio Grande Western. In Volume I of this series one of the watershed events for the young D&RG was the conversion of the main lines from narrow gauge to standard gauge initiated in 1890 during Moffat's presidency. Following his departure from the D&RG the following year Moffat intensified the pursuit of his great dream - constructing a direct transcontinental mainline west from Denver. Indeed the 'Moffat Road' which he spearheaded eventually became the primary transcontinental conduit for the D&RGW as well as the source of substantial local traffic. Moffat however would not live to see the outcome of what he had begun and following his passing his Denver Northwestern & Pacific was reorganized into the Denver & Salt Lake. The color images in this Volume all captured in the later years of D&RGW operations illustrate the many construction challenges he faced as he pushed the DNW&P rails west for this was no route seeking the easiest of grades and alignments. It was the boring of the Moffat Tunnel beneath the Continental Divide in 1927 that encouraged the D&RGW to cast its lot with the D&SL in developing both local and transcontinental traffic. The completion of the tunnel followed by the opening of the Dotsero Cutoff in 1934 gave the line through the Heart of the Rockies a chance to thrive unlike so many other railroad enterprises that had challenged Colorado's mountains and failed. The line west of Denver remains one of the most colorful operations in the region. Though many changes occurred in the final quarter of the 20th century the experience of trains winding through the mountains has beckoned rail photographers from around the globe to record the action. And while the Rio Grande itself is gone the images herein help to illustrate how it was during the era of color slide photography along the D&RGW in the Heart of the Rockies. Contents:.

‎Rio Grande's Narrow Gauge K-36 Locomotives‎

‎New. White River Productions hardcover 224 pages 300 photographs maps drawings and diagrams. The Complete History of the Denver & Rio Grande Western K-36 Locomotives. By the 1920s the legendary narrow-gauge system of the Denver & Rio Grande Western had shrunk to a third of the railroad's total trackage and most of its locomotives were worn out. Yet traffic was heavy on some parts of the line and growing and standard gauging the lines made little economic sense. And so the long-time Baldwin customer turned to the Philadelphia firm for 10 new narrow gauge outside-frame Mikados. Designated K-36 Mikado 36200 lbs. of tractive effort these beefy Baldwins were soon hauling freight over the four percent grades of Cumbres and Marshall passes and indeed system-wide. Fast forward almost a century later and nine of the locomotives still exist and eight are in service on the Durango & Silverton and Cumbres & Toltec Scenic railroads. Truly a remarkable record of service and why the K-36 is beloved by railfans and the crewmen who ran them. Author Jerry Day spent over 40 years compiling information and over 300 photographs maps track folios drawings and diagrams including a three-page foldout drawing by Mike McKenzie for this volume. In addition this 224-page hardcover book includes the D&RGW purchase of the K-36s and changes made to the lines to accommodate them the operational history on the lines they ran and accounts of K-36 snow fighting operations special passenger runs wrecks movie trains locomotive modifications and changes and a section on the K-36s as they operate today on the C&TS and D&S railroads.

‎Southland: Southern California Railroading in the Golden Age of Kodachrome‎

‎New. This is my favorite era of American railroading. First-Generation diesels in their as delivered and later day paint schemes. Passenger trains carrying the mail Alco PAs and EMD F-units. Depots still well-maintained including those made out of wood. Unusual diesels now long-gone such as Southern Pacific's U50s and various Baldwin-made locomotives. There are a handful of Southern Pacific steam photographs such as a head-on shot of 4445 starting to leave Bakersfield with the depot in the background. The Kaiser Steel ore-trains Trona Railway Plaster City narrow gauge Pacific Electric Santa Fe red-and-silver 40-foot billboard boxcars clean diesels and no graffiti. I personally missed this era and saw the remains later on. I need a time machine to go back and experience it all. What a glorious railroad era! The photographs count approximates each railroad's presence in southern California. First is Southern Pacific with Santa Fe as a close second. Union Pacific is a distant third place. Most pages have one large photograph with captions. Other pages have two and a few pages three photographs. Some railfans wish they lived in southern California. Others were fortunate enough to have been born there. Tom Gildersleeve Gordon Glattenberg and the late William H. "Hank" Mills are among the latter. The photographic trio began their exploration of the Southland in the early 1950s when profound societal and technological change began to sweep the Golden State. Beyond the Technicolor dreams Hollywood was sending around the world citrus groves were steadily giving way to industrialization and suburban sprawl. An expanding web of freeways was turning trolleys into antiques while colorful new diesel locomotives steadily took the reins from steam's iron horse. Transition was in full flower providing the authors with intriguing subject matter cast against a wide array of dramatic settings. At a time when most photographers documented the industry in black and white Gildersleeve Glattenberg and Mills made Kodachrome their film of choice opting for a medium that could realistically capture the full palette of their surroundings. Popular publishing was predominantly a monochrome enterprise providing few opportunities for color shooters beyond slide shows at private homes and railroad club meetings. It would be the mid-1970s before new technology allowed all three of the authors to reach a wider audience. The decision to concentrate on color photography might be construed as an act of faith with little reward beyond the satisfaction of a job well done. As this volume will attest that faith has been rewarded on a grand scale. Some 345 color images invite inspection the majority of them being published for the first time. Focusing on the years between the mid-1950s and late 1960s Southland takes the reader on a wide-ranging tour of the region between Bakersfield and the Mexican border. Six chapters and eight detailed maps with comprehensive captions by award-winning photojournalist Ted Benson convey the excitement of Southern California railroading in the golden age of Kodachrome. Over 250 action-packed pages depict the full sweep of activity from Santa Fe Alco PAs and Union Pacific gas-turbine electrics battling Cajon Pass to Southern Pacific 4449 in the days when the famed steam locomotive was just another Daylight 4-8-4. Red and yellow trolley cars thread the bustling streets of Los Angeles contrasting with trios of GP9s roaming the wilds of Carrizo Gorge.
