Goin' Railroading: A Century on the Colorado High Iron

by Sam Speas and Margaret Coel

Book Overview

As America moved westward in the 19th century, few occupations seemed more exciting or romantic than that of railroad engineer. Speas tells the story of his father who left Missouri in 1883 to become an engineer, and recounts his experiences from the golden era of the narrow-gauge lines to the final days of steam power.
