Classic and definitive history of the Colorado Midland Railway, this book is widely considered the best one on this mountain link in the transcontinental system. With 5 maps in rear pocket (Colorado Midland Railway system map, the Leadville Mining District in 1905, Aspen and vicinity, East and West approaches to Hagerman Pass, and a map/profile/railroad chart of the Colorado Midland Railway). Illustrated throughout with black and white photos. There are also 4 full color page sized illustrations by Howard Fogg and Philip Ronfor that are overlaid with a translucent sheet featuring embossed webs and spiders, an emblem of the Ute Indians who are natives of the area. The railroad was a link in the transcontinental system, an example of spectacular engineering, and rail buffs love it. The Colorado Midland went out of business in 1921 and, at the time, constituted one of the largest business enterprises in the State of Colorado.
