Rio Grande Steam Finale: Narrow Gauge Railroad Photography in Colorado and New Mexico

The Denver & Rio Grande Western's spectacular narrow gauge lines in Colorado and New Mexico provided the stage for the last great steam locomotive show in North America. Railroad photographers from all over the country came to document, portray, and interpret these lines in their final decades of the 1950s and 1960s. Drawing from its rich collections, the Center for Railroad Photography & Art showcases the best of their work in this deluxe, hardcover volume. Essays by noted authors Don Hofsommer and Karl Zimmermann, both of whom experienced the narrow gauge lines first-hand in the 1960s, provide context and personal insights. The 10x10 book includes a map and nearly 200 photographs in both black-and-white and color.
