| Some of the
most magnificent main line railroading anywhere can be found in the
western Colorado - eastern Utah desert country. A detailed and photographic
history of the route is presented for the first time in R.C. Farewell's
Rio Grande Secret Places, Volume II, which portrays both the desert
and its Ruby Canyon in spectacular fashion. Pictorial emphasis is
on Rio Grande, Southern Pacific and Union Pacific operation in recent
years, but a few rare D&RGW steam views are included. Three-dimensional
maps highlight key areas. There is coverage of many miles of alignment
that were graded by never used and of obscure desert tidbits such
as the Ballard & Thompson Railroad.
