As a schoolboy visiting cousins in Denver, Colorado, during the 1930s, Edgar Mead was shown the mountains and introduced to his first narrow gauge steam railroad trains operating on the Colorado & Southern and Denver & Rio Grande Western Railroads. Later on, with his friend, Rogers E. M. "Frimbo" Whitaker ("The World's Greatest Railfan") Mead essayed several trips, a few of which are related in this book. The quest of the narrow gauge railroad in its wild environment has taken the author to Mexico, Ireland, Brazil and various other countries, finding colorful people, grand scenery, and quaint train rides along the way. With more than ten million Americans now travelling abroad, Narrow Gauge to the Hills provides useful information as well as inspiration for railfans (and non-railfans) looking for out of-the-ordinary destinations.
