Tucson Was a Railroad Town
The Days of Steam in the Big Burg on the Main Line
By William D. Kalt III
Signed by author

Join award-winning author William Kalt for an exciting journey through the Age of Steam Locomotives in one southwestern railroad town.

Jump aboard for a ride across an epoch now fifty years behind us
.
Using 400 never-before-published photographs and personal anecdotes, the book tells of the camaraderie, tragedy, human drama, heroic actions, and just plain hard work that characterized this historic era.
