A wonderful pictorial!4
This book is large format, and can serve as both a coffee-table book and a photographic reference for those interested in the RGS. It's got a wonderful painting on the cover, and several more throughout the text.

Although the book includes some historical snippets, it's main appeal are the large-format black & white photographs. The format lets you really peer into the photos, getting a feel for the environment and people of that day.

The book is organized by the eras of the RGS' history (early, mid, late), and there's ample coverage of most parts and most of the equipment on the line.

I recommend the book for anyone interested in the RGS, Colorado history, or just looking at photos of a working steam railroad from the 'old days'. It's a wonderful resource, nicely printed and bound, and full of interesting stuff to look at.
