As is true for all volumes in the RGS Story series, this book is exceptional. It's a study of the Rio Grande Southern railroad, specifically the portion of the railroad between the towns of Ophir and Rico.

The incredible Ophir loop area is covered in Vol 3, while vol 5 covers Rico itself and the mines above it. This volume covers the trackage and small stations between, including Trout Lake and the 10,250' Lizard Head pass.

A must for any RGS fan, or anyone interested in the history of this part of the country during the 1890s - 1950s. As with every book in the series, this one includes many hundreds of photos, historical accounts, track plans, building and bridge drawings, and much more.

Tis would not be fair to review. The order was to be cancelled but it was shipped. I refused the shipment the middle of Dec and to date Dec 28, have not heard from the seller nor have I received a credit on my credit card. I had orginally sent 2 e-mails with no response and then I received a for to review transaction. Then I e-mailed to another address and they sent back another address to e-mail the seller more directly. That was done last week.Then today I received another form to review transaction. That is where I am at present time.
