Description:
Colorado Railroad Museum. Softcover. New. Ice houses were a new concept when the country's railroads finally began to use them to replenish the ice necessary to keep their customers' perishable items from spoiling in transit. Railroads were reluctant users of refrigerated cars in the first place, but large shippers such as meat packers, breweries, and produce suppliers demanded they use this method to ship perishable goods. In Colorado Ice Houses the author uses photographs, drawings and maps to skillfully explore this unique subject. Contents: Colorado Railroad Ice Houses, pp. 5-37, List of Ice Houses, pp. 38-40, Folio Sheets of Railroad Reefers (reefer car diagrams both standard and narrow gauge), pp. 41-43, Bibliography, pg. 44. Colorado Railroad Museum, softcover, 44 pages, standard portrait book 8 x 10 in., over 60 B&W images, 1 color page of Rio Grande reefers at the CRA.

Description:
Colorado Railroad Museum. Hardcover. New. Colorado Railroad Water Tanks is a historical tour of the water tanks of Colorado's steam railroad era. Steam locomotives required a large quantity of water to generate the required amount of steam for motive power.

The six hundred tanks and their locations are listed in an index and documented with construction dates, sizes, water sources and pumping equipment, when the information is available. The process and history of bringing water from its source to the locomotive's tender is explained and illustrated. Included are 289 pages with over 260 color and black & white photographs (about 95% B&W), maps and illustrations of tanks and water equipment!

Description:
Colorado Railroad Museum. Softcover. New. Pueblo is one of eight cities in Colorado that once had a street railway. For a full century, the Colorado Fuel & Iron steel mill dominated the economy of the city, and this affected the development of the transit system as well. In Pueblo's Steel Town Trolleys, Morris Cafkey and John Haney skillfully trace the fascinating story from beginning to end. At first there were horse cars and later, many of the electric trolleys were built by the Woeber Carriage Company of Denver. In the final years, ex-Colorado Springs Birney cars dominated the fleet. By 1940, Pueblo was one of the only cities where not a single motor bus operated in transit service. Included are the stories of the terrible 1921 flood, the heavy traffic to the annual Colorado State Fair, first-hand recollections of riders and employees, detailed descriptions of routes and track, and equipment rosters. Colorado Railroad Museum, softcover, 144 pages, standard portrait book 8 x 10 in., B&W and color… Read More

The San Luis Valley is an interesting little short line located in southern Colorado and overlooked by rail enthusiasts on their way to the narrow gauge railroads. The chapters include a discussion of the geography, history of ownership and the challenges of the future. The Greeley Branch of the Union Pacific chapters include data such as mileages, some color pictures of Union Pacific steam, and some B&W images of depots.

This is a very lonely area on the high plains of eastern Colorado. In this title are detailed three unusual ""Colorado Railroads Without Mountains.""

Excerpt from the book: It is hardly news that the Rio Grande Southern survived the double-barreled blasts of the Ames Slide and The Great Depression by hatching a flock of geese. The ""Galloping Geese,"" the unique amalgamations of rubber tire and flanged wheel, not only kept the railroad running but spread the fame of the RGS across the land, and eventually, far beyond our shores. This remarkable story burgeons with Goose invention, fabrication, operation, deterioration, restoration and re-creation. Even more remarkable is the fact that all the… Read More
