Rio Grande Southern Vol. III

Third in a three-volume set detailing the Denver & Rio Grande Western and Rio Grande Southern narrow gauge railroads in Colorado, this book draws on Robert W. Richardson's lifetime of descriptive writing and excellent photography skills. In it, Bob offers an intimate look at the incredible 172-mile down-on-its-luck RGS that couldn't weather the snow, the washouts or the economy in the San Juans. But the line, as a humble lumber and mining road, did capture the hearts of railfans everywhere.
