Synopsis
Some mighty impressive statistics back up the claim of the Mt. Tamalpais & Muir Woods Railway. Imagine 281 curves, which made 42 complete circles in 8.5 miles of track! Add to that a 7 percent maximum grade, a fleet of Shay and Heisler geared steam locomotives, and dozens of little 'Gravity Cars' which glided all the way from the Summit Tavern of Mt. Tamalpais to verdant Muir Woods, and you have a most unusual, and very spectacular mountain railroad - almost within sight of San Francisco. Contains 132 pages and 216 photographs, 3 maps, and 16 scale drawings of locomotives and cars for modelers.
