| Railroads of Colorado: Your Guide to Colorado's Historic Trains and Railway Sites (Pictorial Discovery Guide) |
| By : Claude Wiatrowski |
A great adventure began in Colorado's mountains in the early 1870s with the whimper of a tiny train struggling up Clear Creek Canyon. By the 1880s, the boom in Colorado railroads was similar to the Internet boom of the 1990s; investors poured money into the latest railroad technologies. Today, Colorado is a mecca for the restoration and operation of historic railroads, attracting approximately 700,000 visitors and enthusiasts each year. "Railroads of Colorado" explores the fascination these improbable railways inspire and transports readers back a century, providing the history of these unique railroads, the engineering that paved their way into the mountains, and the men who built and ran them. Along with sharp color and historical photography, Railroads of Colorado includes ideas for exploring Colorado's railroads.
