Download or read book Uintah Railway written by Henry E. Bender and published by Howell-North Books, Incorporated. This book was released on 1970 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tells the story of the only railroad to penetrate the vast Uintah Basin of western Colorado and eastern Utah. The line was built almost exclusively to carry gilsonite, the glassy black asphaltum found nowhere else in the world. The Uintah had specially built equipment -- precursors of the Mallets -- which makes its story extremely interesting for a road of such moderate length. Includes 290 illustrations.
