Old version but "better" than the new version?,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Cinders & Smoke: A Mile by Mile Guide for the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad (Paperback)
I purchased "Cinders' and Smoke" for an impending photography trip to SW Colorado. I specifically wanted to get pictures of the trains amid the aspens. I found the book extremely helpful in knowing where we were as we traveled up to Silverton. I hope to someday hike part of the trip with my camera and take pictures along the way. The details in this book are sufficient to make such a trip possible. There is now a newer version of this book which I also purchased. The route details are much less shown and described but the color photographs make it more of a "picture" book. Both books are really good. when talking with the workers employed by the owners of the train I was repeatedly told that they preferred the "Cinders and Smoke" book over the newer version. I think it depends on what you are looking for. I would personally recommend either one but really liked the detail in this book because of the maps that showed the route the whole way. The new version has very limited maps. If you like trains and especially an exciting ride then this book is for you. Just a suggestion, the trip is a long one and I would recommend perhaps taking the train up to Silverton and returning by bus. We were totally exhausted upon our return by train. Finally, buy some clear glasses at the station for $3 before boarding the train. the Cinders and Smoke can really irritate the eyes!
