Colorado Rail Annual Number Nine (used)
second printing 1976
published by Colorado Railroad Museum
In this ninth issue we offer a varied fare of articles on Colorado railroading long past, recently passed and present.
Professor Stanley Rhine, of Colorado State University has contributed a carefully structured anthropological study of that virtually extinct denizen of the western slope, the Galloping Goose. Those who were fortunate enough to have experienced a Goose in flight will find the article nostalgic, while the less fortunate newcomer may discover a new dimension in Colorado narrow gauge railroading.
Mike Davis, one of our Foundation Trustees, has recorded the story of the Denver & Rio Grande Western's premier train on the Denver to Salt Lake run via the Moffat Tunnel, the Prospector. As a Rio Grande Assistant Trainmaster, Mike reflects the pride and satisfaction that Rio Grande people took in this handsome, popular streamliner.
Mallory Hope Ferrell, a Western Airlines pilot when not tracking down narrow gauge railroad artifacts, has provided us with a fitting tribute to the late Fred Jukes, famed photographer of turn-of-the-century trains on the narrow gauge. Included are virtually all of the existing photos that Jukes made in Colorado at that time.
And finally, as a bit of good news from the present, our staff has assembled a brief illustrated resume of the story of the new Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad, both the newest and the oldest of Colorado's remaining slim gauge lines.
