<p>"Durango: Always A Railroad Town" is the second of five volumes compiled by Richard L. Dorman covering narrow-gauge railroading in Colorado and New Mexico. This pictorial publication focuses on the railroad aspect of the growth of Durango, Colorado, from the 1880's to the 1980's. The ten chapters in the book cover railroad facilities, structures, and equipment in Durango; D&amp;RGW and RGS switch engines over the years; shippers, industries, and sources of revenue; the Rio Grande Southern Railway west of Durango; the D&amp;RGW rail line to Silverton; the D&amp;RGW rail line to Farmington, New Mexico; the D&amp;RGW route east toward Chama, New Mexico; and more. Over 300 vintage black &amp; white photographs illustrate the information, along with maps, diagrams, and several full-page color photographs and paintings.</p>

Durango: Always a Railroad Town

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."
