Goin' Railroading is a book about railroads and, railroading, but it is much more than that; it is about the human spirit; about the men who stoked the fires and drove the locomotives; who threw the switches and loaded the cars; who froze and sweated, and often worked long, lonely hours away from their families. But mostly this is Sam Speas' story, and the story of his railroading family, for Sam's brothers Clarence and Neal were also engineers on the old C&S. Collectively, the family spent more than a century on the Colorado high iron, working such historic lines as the Colorado Central, Greeley, Salt Lake and Pacific, Denver, South Park and Pacific, and the Colorado and Southern.
