The material on the narrow gage railroads of southwestern Colorado prepared for the bulletin will eventually be included in "Mixed Train Daily, A Book of Short Line Railroads" by Lucius Beebe, with photographs by Charles M. Clegg, Jr., and the author, which is scheduled for publication in the fall of 1947 by E. P. Dutton & Co., $12.50 net. The volume will also include color plates from six original oil paintings of short line railroading by Howard Fogg, staff artist of the American Locomotive Company. The material was gathered by Mr. Beebe and Mr. Clegg during two separate periods of several weeks' duration, one in winter and one in summer time, spent in and around Durango. Mr. Beebe has been for the past nineteen years a member of the editorial staff of the New York Herald Tribune and is author of several photographic histories of railroading: "High Iron," "High Liners," "Trains In Transition" and "Highball." Mr. Clegg, his photographic associate, is a student of J. Ghislain Lootens, celebrated photographic authority and instructor, and his pictures have frequently appeared in Trains, Railroad Magazine, Popular Photography and in Mr. Beebe's books.
Durango (13 pages plus 8 photographs); Telluride (10 pages plus 6 photos); Farmington (2 pages plus 2 photos); Silverton (6 pages plus 6 photos); Alamosa (4 pages and a grand photo of the San Juan at full throttle at Carbon Jct.). The photographs in this volume are professionally done as you would expect from Beebe & Clegg. A Rio Grande Southern steam power roster of 1941 is included.
