Another addition to the D&RGW RR library; Rio Grande Diesels A Pictorial History - Vol 3 by Joseph A Strapac. This one was published in 1988 by Tree Shade Books and Centennial Publications. While there are pictures ranging through out the entire D&RGW diesel period it does end with the final purchases before the merger with the Southern Pacific. It also includes a nice section on cabooses and heavyweight passenger cars, those are more nice to have than for any real need on my part.
Looking forward to paging through and reading this one!
From , `across the pond' this looks very interesting eye candy!
ReplyDeleteI have certainly been enjoying flipping through the book. The Caboose section is particularly interesting and I have found a number of photos of switching diesels which is where my main interest is.
