Mountain to Mill The Colorado and Wyoming Railway

by William H. McKenzie (Hardcover)

Fascinating and detailed history of the Colorado & Wyoming Railway and how it served the mills of the Colorado Fuel & Iron Steel Co. The book discusses not only the great men like Palmer and Gould who built these companies but also the communities that thrived and then withered as recessions, floods, strikes and mine explosions devastated them. Includes a chapter taking the reader on a ride along the railroad as it hauls cars filled with ore. With locomotive (steam and diesel) and equipment rosters. Illustrated throughout with black and white photos and maps.
