28th Sep 2021
 The epic struggle against gravity in the age of steam and early diesel.

Mountain Railroads, the latest special issue from Classic Trains, explores railroading’s battle with gravity and geography — getting heavy trains up steep grades and safely descending them.

The 124-page special edition features new and rare photos, detailed maps, and classic articles from Trains magazine, including:

••• Horseshoe Curve — A visit to the Pennsylvania Railroad’s Allegheny Mountain landmark in 1940;

••• Cajon Pass — To reach Los Angeles, Santa Fe and Union Pacific trains faced a climb of 1.6 percent, then a descent of 3.5 percent!;

••• 2-10-4 to Revelstoke — Ride in the cab with David P. Morgan over Canadian Pacific’s crossing of the Continental Divide;

••• Snowbound Streamliner — Hundreds of people were marooned for three days when SP’s City of San Francisco got stuck on Donner Pass;

••• Saluda Grade — Generations of crews battled the short but fierce grade of the Southern Railway’s line south of Asheville, NC;

••• And more!
