The Uintah Railway began at Mack, Colorado, in 1903, at a connection with the D&RGW just west of Grand Junction. The Mack interchange yard was dual-gauge, as the URY was a narrow-gauge carrier of gilsonite ore from mines in Utah. All the line's engines, freight and passenger cars are included. After passing Carbonera, the division point of Atchee is reached-the location of a wye, coal dock, water tank, section house, engine house, machine shop, car shop and bunkhouse. The town included company houses, a store and an ice house. From Atchee, you are taken up the line to Baxter Pass on the 7.5-percent grade leading to the top. Contains 320 pages, with 414 black & white scenes and 7 full-color views, with detailed maps of Mack and Atchee.
