Description:
When the need for a new, standard gauge railroad to Alamosa was deemed a priority, the mysterious and remote La Veta Pass line was completed in November, of 1899. This is the expanded and updated version which updates the past decade of the mountain railroad's history. From 4-4-0's to the mightiest of the Rio Grande fleet of steam locomotives, the L-131's, they all slugged it out over La Veta Pass. Diesels from FT, F-units through GP-40's are included in this book. Over 480 photos, maps, documents, timetables, and a thoroughly researched text. Hard Cover.
