WPLives 29th Jul 2021		Review Reviews This beautiful coffee table book is more than pretty pictures. Written in a down-to-earth style, the book is fun to read, whether you are a railroad buff or just interested in a part of Colorado's history. --Colorado Country Life The book is carefully researched and the text is written in an entertaining manner. The true splendor of this volume lies in the magnificent color photographs that leap out at you from its pages. It is more than a coffee table treasure, however, for it contains a well-documented record of one of man's more colorful attempts to beat nature. --Santa Fe New Mexican, Marion C. Loeb A combination history, guide, and coffee table photography book, this volume is beautifully photographed, well-researched, interesting, and an informative read. Clearly, the author is passionate about his subject. This well-researched book is highly recommended. --Colorado Libraries, Laura Kaspari Hohmann The book is carefully researched and the text is written in an entertaining manner.
