Jim Jones 155 pages softcover
This nostalgic adventure tracks Southern Pacific-powered trains on the former Denver & Rio Grande Western Railroad in Colorado and eastern Utah. Factory fresh General Electric AC4400CW’s led an all-star cast of recent power, rebuilds and second-generation locomotives over some of the most breathtaking rails in North America.
Railroad author, historian and photographer James R. “Jim” Jones documented the SP/D&RGW merger and fall-out which unfolded from 1987 into the 21st century. This ground-breaking 155-page publication covers
Centennial State routes—large and small—such as the Moffat Road, Denver to Pueblo locals, Hoisington Subdivision, Pueblo to Grand Junction via Royal Gorge; Cane Creek (Potash), North Fork and Creede branches, Walsenburg to Alamosa over La Veta Pass, and a memorable cab ride over Tennessee Pass. All aboard!
