Narrow Gauge to the Hills
|
In the 1930s while as a schoolboy visiting cousins in Denver, Colorado, Edgar Mead was introduced to the narrow gauge steam railroad trains operating on the Colorado & Southern and Denver & Rio Grande Western Railroads. Later with his friend, Rogers E. M. "Frimbo" Whitaker (the World's Greatest Rail-fan) Mead essayed several trips on the Colorado narrow gauge, a few of which are related in this book.
The quest for narrow gauge railroads in their wild environment has taken the author to Mexico, Ireland, Brazil and various other countries. In his search, Edgar Mead has found colorful people, grand scenery, and quaint trains. For travelers, Narrow Gauge to the Hills provides useful information, as well as, inspiration for railfans and non-railfans alike looking for out-of-the-ordinary destinations. |
