Excerpt
from the book:
"It is hardly news that the Rio Grande Southern survived
the double-barreled blasts of the Ames Slide and The Great Depression
by hatching a flock of geese. The "Galloping Geese," the
unique amalgamations of rubber tire and flanged wheel, not only
kept the railroad running but spread the fame of the RGS across
the land, and eventually, far beyond our shores. This remarkable
story burgeons with Goose invention, fabrication, operation, deterioration,
restoration and re-creation. Even more remarkable is the fact that
all the Geese are alive and well, and three of the seven have migrated
to the Colorado Railroad Museum."
Explore
these fascinating and unique railroad motorcars in this expanded
and revised edition which contains minor corrections and 12 pages
of all new material covering the Geese in recent years!
