For almost 60 years, the Rio Grande railroad and its successor, Southern Pacific, have operated ski specials from Denver. Here is the whole story of how Colorado's billion-dollar ski industry started from passenger trains, and how and why the ski train is still serving today. The authors examine operations and equipment, and review other past and present North American ski trains.

<p>THREE COMPLETE STORIES COMPRISE THIS ANNUAL. *The 15-mile San Luis Central has faithfully served a rich agricultural district in the San Luis Valley for over a century, owning only three locomotives during its lifetime. Having outlived many more famous lines, its full history is presented here for the first time by John Gruber. *Union Pacific's Greeley branch tapped a rich sugar beet growing area, and its fortunes rose and fell along with the once important Colorado sugar industry. Historian Kenton Forrest gives a complete account of the railroad line and the area it served for many years. *The Arkansas Valley Railway is famous for being the first Colorado railroad abandonment. Author Robert W. McLeod provides a detailed history of the important role it played at the dawn of the Colorado railroad era.</p>
