010684Glendale CA: Trans-Anglo 1983. First Edition . Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. Silver cloth. Map endpapers. x 257 3 pages. Illustrated. Bibliography. Index. Jacket has a small rectangular chip cut from the bottom edge of the rear panel. Contents clean and tight. "The Virginia & Truckee Railroad became a legend long before the last train ran in 1950. Those who lived in the days of glitter and bustle of Virginia City during the hectic days of the Comstock Lode have been gone for decades. Even those who rode the train to Virginia City as youngsters are vanishing. Ted Wurm and Harre Demoro well-qualified railroad scholars add this personal touch to this well-rounded story of the V&T which bring out little-known facts of the railroad's history." - David F. Myrick <br/> <br/> Trans-Anglo (1983). hardcover
