Jim Jones 145 pages softcover
Denver & Rio Grande Western was Colorado’s “home railroad” for
twelve decades. This colorful, comprehensive 145-page chronicle tracks
the Centennial State’s routes during their final years of black and
gold. Catch SW1000s, SW1200s, GP30s, GP40s, GP50s, SD40T
“tunnel motors,” nearly new GP60s and plenty of cabooses with rare
scenes of vintage F9 “covered wagon” 5771 and her B-unit sister enroute
to their final Colorado Railroad Museum resting place. James R. “Jim”
Jones documented trains in picture-perfect landscapes
with trackside structures and equipment sure to please modelers. You’ll
experience the Moffat Road, locals along the Joint Line, the Royal
Gorge Route, Tennessee Pass, La Veta Pass and the San Luis Valley, with
seldom photographed Craig, Belt Line, Rocky Flats,
Fort Logan, Monarch, Leadville, Aspen, North Fork, Montrose, Creede and
Antonito branches and spurs. See what you’ve been missing!
