Hi, John -

I have had a copy of Rio Grande Narrow Gauge - The Final Years, Alamosa to Chama by Joseph P. Hereford, Jr. and Ernest W. Robart for several years. It is an 8-1/2 x 11 paperback, landscape (horizontal) format, 112 pages, crammed with GREAT black & white photos by the authors and LOTS of info about this section of the line during the last four years of D&RGW operations. This book is probably the first section of a planned 3-part book, covering Alamosa-Chama, Chama-Durango and Durango-Farmington which Ernie mentioned to me a few years ago. I too hope he finds time to finish "The rest of the story ... ".

- Russ
