In the annuals of railroading, Golden, Colorado holds an almost mythical status. Steam railroads (both standard and narrow gauge) served the city, along with two electric interurban railways and even funicular railways! This book also explores Golden's early history, predecessor companies and more!
In this brand new Colorado Rail Annual, Golden resident and historian Dan Abbott brings the subject to life through contemporary accounts and an amazing array of vintage photography!
