<p>This is Volume 2 of "An Ultimate Pictorial Study" of the Rio Grande Southern, designed to supplement Dorman's "The Southern: A Narrow Gauge Odyssey." It is divided into three twenty year sections with hundreds of rare, usually never before published scenes, designed to bring the RGS to life from 1890 when Otto Mears took serious action until 1951 when the line was abandoned. Many of the photos have been enhanced by double printing on the duotone process. The problems and triumphs of each twenty year section are captured and then enhanced by narratives from railroaders who recorded their experiences. With maps. 344 pages with index. Oversized (12"x9").</p>

Cloth with dust jacket, 11x8.5" horizontal, 222 pages, new 3rd printing. "Moving eastward, we examine the Chama area with its exciting engine facilities and structures. We go up the 4% grade to Cumbres Pass where an abundance of photographic studies allow us to visualize the intense activities occurring over the years. Then on to Antonito and south to Santa Fe on the fabulous Chili Line, where few photos gracxe the historic collections concerning this route. "General Palmer may have missed the boat by not vigorously pursuing his intitial southerly plan. By making the San Juan extension the main line and foregoing the Santa Fe route as a major emphasis, he missed a population growth ten times that of southern Colorado. It is, however, easy for a historian to have insight into progress. Great effort has been involved in searching out fine old photos. Some, not so fine but noteworthy for content, have been included. "This third book in Dick Dorman's Narrow Gauge Collection provides the railroad buff, historian and modeler with new photos not seen before."
