Fascinating and detailed history of the Colorado & Wyoming Railway and how it served the mills of the Colorado Fuel & Iron Steel Co.

Includes a chapter taking the reader on a ride along the railroad as it hauls cars filled with ore. With locomotive (steam and diesel) and equipment rosters. Illustrated throughout with black and white photos and maps. With extensive bibliography. 199 pages.
