Sobre este artículo
Golden, Colorado: Colorado Railroad Museum. Near Fine in Very Good+ dust jacket. 1990. Hardcover. 0918654181 . First Edition (so indicated by lack of subsequent printings, copyright page). The Colorado Rail Annual Number 18 consists of three parts. In "Eastward Ho!," Ted Wurm tells of two Californians as they travel eastward, exploring various abandoned or soon-to-be-abandoned narrow gauge railroads in California, Nevada, Utah, New Mexico and Colorado. In "Westward Ho!" John W. Maxwell, being a skilled photographer, journeys westward from Colorado to photograph steam and narrow gauge trains in two separate trips. A folded map of both "Eastward" and "Westward" travels is laid in. In his "On Line," Edward Mahoney traveled the Santa Fe Railway from 1919 to 1922 in his role as secretary to a division superintendent, describing the various aspects of western steam railroading. A folded reproduction of a Santa Fe map and timetable is laid in. All 3 with over 300 black & white historic photos (and some in color) of locomotives and railroading people. --- In full blue cloth-covered boards with cover and spine titling in gilt. Jacket bears color John Green painting of a steam-powered train stopped at Mack station (presumably Mack, Colorado). --- An excellent copy: bright, tightly-bound and clean, though with mild cover corner bump. Jacket with some minor rubbing and a small tear to edge, otherwise in excellent shape and protected in clear removable mylar wrapper.; Quarto (11 to 13 in. tall); 221 pages .
