Rio Grande Railroad

Travel west through the Rocky mountains on the legendary 'Rio Grande' railroad. Also known as the D&RGW, it is a favorite among rail fans and modellers for its breathtaking scenery and its fascinating narrow-gauge legacy. On it's journey from Denver to Salt Lake City the 'Rio Grande' ran through the six-mile-long Moffat Tunnel, one of America's miracles of railroad engineering. This book treats the reader to a wealth of information including overviews of steam and diesel locomotives as well as famous passenger trains such as the Vista-domed California Zephyr (Chicago to Oakland, joint with the Burlington and Western Pacific) and the Royal Gorge (Denver to Salt Lake City). All aboard for a fantastic pictorial of arguably the most scenic railroad in America.Hardcover, 8-1/4' x 10-5/8', 160 pp, 100 color, 50 b/w, Part of MBI's newly redesigned Railroad Color History series, this hardcover book features over 150 dazzling photographs, Boasted as the most scenic railroad in U.S. history, Rio Grande served the west including Denver and Salt Lake City , D&RGW's narrow gauge Durango to Silverton line is a popular tourist line today, Includes Rio Grande print advertising
