Concludes the story of this unique narrow-gauge railroad which ran until 1939. Mile-by-mile coverage of the line begins at the Atchee division point and up the 7.0-percent grade and sharp curves of Baxter Pass–with a pause at Lake McAndrews. Continuing on, life and railroading in the Uintah Basin of Utah are portrayed as the Uintah carried gilsonite ore from the mines to Mack. Coverage is given to the mining operations and livestock industry that provided the URY with its livelihood. Some 400 historic black & white views are complimented by 16 full-color scenes. Author Polley thoroughly covers the railroad and towns along the right of way on the 384 pages of this well researched volume.
