5.0 out of 5 stars A great entertainment value, August 23, 1998

This review is from: Narrow Gauge in the Rockies (Hardcover)

Beebe and Clegg's colorful writing makes "Narrow Gauge in the Rockies" my favorite railroad book. This is not an in depth scholarly historical work; readers looking for facts might want to look elsewhere. Likewise, the odd organization of the photographs (C&S photos in the D&RGW section) is unnerving. However, for sheer entertainment value, "Narrow Gauge in the Rockies" can't be beat. A great introductory book for railroad fans.

This review is from: Narrow Gauge in the Rockies (Hardcover)

This is not a full-scale history of the narrow gauge lines in the Rockies. It is, however, Beebe with all the strengths and shortcomings found in his other books. You will enjoy this if you like a selection of vintage photographs with colorful commentary. If you are a rail historian, look elsewhere.
