Originally this line was the route of the Denver, South Park & Pacific Railroad. Reaching from Denver, Colorado along the South Platte River to the entrance of the South Platte Canon, the line went up the canon and over the mountains to reach a mining district known as the Mineral Belt. The DSP&P later became a subsidiary of the Colorado & Southern railroad.

Today, only a small branch of the line south of downtown Denver remains in operation. The former grade in the greater Denver area has been lost to urban development. The Mineral Belt was an area of great mineral wealth, and the railroad was needed to haul the gold, silver, lead, molybdenum, tungsten, zinc, coal and other less valuable mineral deposits down out of the mountains.

But this was not the only traffic on the line, lumber and cattle were also sources of traffic.Many historical Black and White photographs supplement the text, including pictures of the steamers with their unique "Bear Trap" spark arrestors. The book is printed on high-quality, glossy paper.

Estes Industries, LLC expressly disclaims any and all liability for personal injury, property damage, or other loss resulting from the misuse, improper handling, or unauthorized application of its model rocket engines.

The Estes C6-7 model rocket engine is a powerful, high-thrust motor designed for upper-stage flights and lightweight, single-stage rockets. As a standard 18mm engine, the C6-7 provides a strong 1.6-second burn time, delivering consistent acceleration to propel rockets to impressive altitudes. With a 7-second delay before parachute deployment, this engine is ideal for rockets that require an extended coasting phase to reach peak altitude before safely descending.

With a total impulse of 10.00 Newton-seconds and a maximum thrust of 15.30 Newtons (3.4 lbs), the C6-7 is perfect for rockets weighing up to 2.5 ounces (71 g). The extended delay time ensures that the rocket reaches its full trajectory before the recovery system is deployed, providing a smooth and controlled descent. This engine is best suited for lightweight model rockets designed to take advantage of its extended coast time and high-performance lift capacity.

Each C6-7 engine pack includes three engines, four starters, and four starter plugs, ensuring you have everything needed for multiple launches. Estes engines are engineered for reliability and precision, giving rocketeers the confidence to launch with consistent ignition and predictable flight performance. The parachute ejection charge activates at the perfect moment to ensure a safe and stable landing, allowing for easy rocket retrieval and quick reusability.

Union Pacific Historical Society, hardcover, 288 pages, 11 x 8.5 x.5 in., B&W and Color photographs.

This excellent book on Union Pacific cabooses is a must-have for Union Pacific fans and caboose fans. Beginning with the earliest cabooses on the UP, wooden 4-window cupola-less cars, to the steel slogan-bearing cars used until the common demise of the use of cabooses in the 1980s, and to the second-hand cars acquired with the demise of the Rock Island and the various mergers, its all here! Diagrams, line-drawings, painting specifications and rosters together with the numerous black and white and Color photographs give the rail enthusiast and model railroader all the information one needs to learn about and model UP cabooses.

With help from many sources including Union Pacific department records and the Union Pacific Historical Society this is a complete work. Also included with the rosters are notes on the disposition of many cars and their locations.

Many California railroads were organized, not to become a large railroad, but to simply serve some local purpose. Hauling lumber or minerals or sugar beets required rail services best provided by a focused, local organization.

What is a short line' Basically a smaller railroad that operates limited mileage in a single region or state and perhaps is tied to a particular commodity or service. Whether private or common carrier, the styles of short line operation were similar.

The two types of carriers often sold locomotives between one another, and these engines can be found lettered for both. What is a short line steam locomotive' Generally, they were built first with cost as a primary consideration, followed by compatibility with existing infrastructure (bridge weight limits and track structure).

Most weighed 90 tons or less, with small-diameter driving wheels to operate at slow speeds. This book documents in B&W photographs with captions and text those non-geared short line steam locomotives which operated in California.
