Mallory Hope Ferrell has always been intrigued by the remote, often run-down and obscure railroads. A Southerner by birth, this tome covers many of these lines during the period just before World War II until the arrival of a diesel salesman or abandonment put an end to that glorious era of steam and smoke.

The Bible Belt is generally accepted as covering a sweeping, wide arc of the southeastern United States, extending from West (By Damn) Virginia to East (By God) Texas. It was in this territory that small steam powered lines lasted so long and so well.

Many of these lines served a single industry, mine, quarry, cotton mill, town or sawmill. When this local industry failed, or the lumber and coal played out, these carriers simply up and quit! The few survivors opted for small diesel power, others were absorbed as a branch of a larger railroad, but most were abandoned in favor of highway transportation - or no transportation at all.

The DSP&P headed out from Denver, snaking through the canyon formed by the South Platte River, crested Kenosha Pass and headed across the Great South Park to Como, Colorado. From there the line split, one track headed for the Gunnison Country via Trout Creek Pass, Nathrop, Chalk Creek and the famed Alpine Tunnel.

Then downgrade to Gunnison with its promise of mining traffic and cattle..and the dream of the Pacific. The other line headed for Leadville crossing the Continental Divide two times in the process. The South Park finally reached its intended destinations, but arrived too late, the Rio Grande's track crews had beaten them each time.

This is the story of this 'underdog' railroad, also know as the Damned Slow & Pretty Rough Riding.
