Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exploration of the Grand Canyon has attracted the attention of adventurers from Coronado to Roosevelt and captured the imaginations of millions worldwide. In the early part of the twentieth century, development of the canyon as a tourist destination, a source of mining prospects, an artistic subject, and a geological wonder increased at tremendous rates due to the linking of the Santa Fe railroad line with the canyon's edge from Williams and Flagstaff. Rudy J. Gerber's The Railroad and the Canyon is a historical expedition into the events that led to the building of the railroad and its impact on the canyon. From the first deadly attempts to run trains through the canyon to the industries that sprouted up alongside its tracks, this story of man's quest to conquer the canyon by train is both fascinating and enlightening. Gerber introduces the famous figures from John Hance, whose stagecoaches brought adventurous spectators to the rim; to Buckey O'Neill, who convinced financiers to run the rails to his property; to Mary Jane Colter, the architect whose work remains today as part of the national park grounds. The race to the canyon was not without legal battles and dry spells for tourism. This book tells how landowners battled for rights to the rails, how the railroad marketed its canyon trips, how the hotels developed and grew, and how roads and cars competed with the rails for carrying visitors to the canyon. Included are also stories of the archeological finds along the tracks and sights found along the guideposts of the trek. Rudy J. Gerber has been a longtime college professor, lawyer, writer, and explorer of the canyon lands. He currently sits as a judge on the Arizona State Court of Appeals in Phoenix. Escaping from the city, he can be found at his mountain cabin outside of Williams, still within earshot of the famed train lines he has written this book about.

Download or read book Grand Canyon Railroad written by Rudy J. Gerber and published by American Traveler Press. This book was released on 1990 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All about the railroad: old coaches made new, ancient steam engines, historic hotels, stations and campsites along 64 miles of scenic track unlike any other railroad in the USA and the only one ever to penetrate to the heart of a national park. On 17 September 1989, 88 years to the day from the date the first steam engine puffed to the Grand Canyon, a reborn Grand Canyon train made its way from Williams to the Grand Canyon along the same historic route. The resurrection of the Grand Canyon Railway signifies more than steam and thunder, nostalgia and history. It is part of a growing recognition of the need to soften the environmental impact made by four million annual visitors to the Canyon. The railroad uses a clean burning fuel of oil and grey water for engine power and may reduce peak motor traffic in the Canyon park by as much as 4000 vehicles per day.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Arizona is proud to have one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World--the Grand Canyon. With the arrival of the Santa Fe and Union Pacific Railroad in the early 20th century, the development of the canyon began in earnest. The railroads, along with the Santa Fe's business partner, the Fred Harvey Company, greatly promoted the Grand Canyon as a tourist destination through books, pamphlets, and magazine advertisements. On February 26, 1919, Congress established the Grand Canyon National Park, and the federal government became a promoter of the Grand Canyon, too. But perhaps the best promoters of the Grand Canyon were the people who wrote home on picture postcards telling their friends and families about the amazing canyon. A number of the postcards published about the park can be found within the pages of this book.
