The book is out of print, but I found a relatively low cost copy online. And, the author is still alive and living in the Sacramento area. At the CSRM, he gave a sold out talk on the rescue. If you like railroad, this is a great book for you.
Mr. Church is a railroad historian, and so gives us excruciating detail including a history of snow removal equipment designed to fight some of the worst winter weather in the world. And a copy of the weather conditions reported by railroad personnel for January 1952 at Emigrant Gap, California. If you, too, are a railroad historian, you will love the details. For the rest of us, they could have been summarized and the story told with a bit more feeling. But it is still a fantastic story. I hope someone makes a movie of it.
