Download or read book Rio Grande Southern Album written by Philip A. Ronfor and published by Ed Crist Incorporated. This book was released on 1989-01-01 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rio Grande Southern Album is a fond look back at a railroad that threaded its way through the towering peaks of Colorado's silver district, defying both time & Nature to survive into the era of color photography. Built during the silver boom of 1891, its prosperity was short-lived. The Depression brought bankruptcy. Government support came during World War II, as the RGS hauled uranium ore for the first atomic bomb. Philip A. Ronfor was a New York artist whose work appeared in Argosy, True, & Colliers magazines. Rio Grande Southern Album is as much about the RGS as it is about the vision of an artist. The RGS was an anachronism, a living museum, & Ronfor used the new technology to preserve a slice of the nineteenth century. Rio Grande Southern Album is the 28th book produced by Ed Crist & the late John Krause, but our first all-color effort. While breaking new ground with color, it continues the fine black-&-white tradition that has brought readers the historical scope & diversity of America's railroads.

This book was released on 2011-06-01 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this third volume of his narrow gauge chronicle, noted narrow gauge preservationist Robert Richardson continues to take a close look at the Rio Grande Southern, the 172-mile narrow gauge route that wrapped itself around the craggy and forested San Juan Mountains between Durango and Ridgway, Colorado. In just two years, Otto Mears built a railroad that climbed four mountain passes and featured 142 bridges, including numerous high, spindly trestles. In this 224-page hardbound book, Bob hones in on the town of Ridgway, the various RGS “oasis” towns in the wilderness, mine-rich Telluride, the RGS’ locomotive fleet, the Galloping Goose era and high-in-the-sky Ophir. He also talks about important old RGS records and how he obtained copies, relates humorous insights about hunting season on the line, the Montezuma Lumber Company operations at McPhee, and the last runs of the famed RGS trains.
