railroad adventures of Robert W. Richardson, noted author, photographer
and historian. Bob, a railfan’s railfan, originally released
the book in 1995 under the Sundance Publications label, and it sold

This new, limited second edition features 425 color and black and
white photographs and covers Bob’s favorite locomotives; his
travels in the Northeastern and New England states, Canada, Texas
and Oklahoma, Old Border states and the Midwest, Southern states,
Mexico and Central America, Persian Gulf countries, Colorado and
New Mexico; the vanishing interurban; the San Juan; railroading
in the snow; the Poncha, Cumbres and Marshall passes; the Gunnison

Crested Butte; the Baldwin Branch; the San Luis Valley Line; the

The book features 22 chapters and covers such railroads and subjects
as the Ohio River & Western, the crookedest railroad in the
world; the Aliquippa & Southern; the East Broad Top; Tionesta
Valley Railway; Edaville; the Tweetsie; woodburners in the woods;
Live Oak, Perry & Gulf; the D&RGW and Rio Grande Southern

Possessing a fascination with trains and railroading as far back
as 1931, Bob’s interest quickly developed into a lifelong career
of chasing, riding and photographing trains. His train riding has
led to many adventures few railfans have experienced.
Bob, with his journalistic penchant, tells a great story, weaving
together facts and figures of how it used to be on the railroads.
He became editor of the Linn’s Weekly Stamp News, was an advertising
coordinator, served in the U.S. Army, owned the famous Narrow Gauge
Motel in Alamosa and began publishing the Narrow Gauge News. |
