Colorado Rail Annual Number Nine Soft Covert 1971
Colorado Rail Annual Number Nine SOft Cover 1971 126 Pages
In this our ninth issue we offer a varied fare of articles on Colorado railroading long past, recently passed and present. And we welcome a trio of new authors to our pages.
Professor Stanley Rhine, of Colorado State University has contributed a carefully structured anthropological study of that virtually extinct denizen of the western slope, the Galloping Goose. Those who were fortunate enough to have experienced a Goose in flight will find the article nostalgic, while the less fortunate newcomer may discover a new dimension in Colorado narrow gauge railroading.
Mike Davis. one of our Foundation Trustees, has recorded the story of the Denver & Rio Grande Western's premier train on the Denver-Salt Lake run via the Moffat Tunnel-the Prospector. As a Rio Grande Assistant Train-master, Mike reflects the pride and satisfaction that Rio Grande people took in this handsome, popular streamliner.
Mallory Hope Ferrell, a Western Airlines pilot when not tracking down narrow gauge railroad artifacts, has provided us with a fitting tribute to the late Fred Jukes. famed photographer of turn of-the-century trains on the narrow gauge. Included are virtually all of the existing photos that Jukes made in Colorado at that time.
And finally, as a bit of good news from the present, our staff has assembled a brief illustrated resume of the story of the new Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad - both the "newest" and "oldest" of Colorado's remaining slim gauge lines.
