An illustrated historical and technical account examines three short narrow-gauge mountain railroads in southwestern Colorado, tracing their origins, surveys, construction and connections to local mining and road systems. It combines engineering descriptions of steep grades, tight curves, switchbacks and special trackwork with maps, photographs, construction reports and personal letters to show surveying decisions, locomotive selection and operational difficulties. Regional exploration and settlement background detail transportation needs that prompted the lines and explain their changing fortunes and eventual decline.
