Book Description

Publication Date: August 1995

This book tells the story of the only railroad to penetrate the vast Uintah Basin of western Colorado and eastern Utah. The line was built almost exclusively to carry gilsonite, the glassy black asphaltum found nowhere else in the world. The Uintah had specially built equipment -- precursors of the Mallets -- which makes its story extremely interesting for a road of such moderate length. This book includes 290 illustrations.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Good Read, March 24, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Uintah Railway: The Gilsonite Route (Hardcover)

This book is a good read for anyone who likes narrow gauge trains. It is a good primer for gilsonite mining especially for fans of the Unitah Railway. The writing quality is high and most of the pictures, although limited in number, are clear enough to help in modeling. All in all, an enjoyable railroad read.
