    Well,
    New to me anyway!!
    Just recieved a near mint 1978 copy of The Switzerland Trail of America.
    Signed/numbered! Book #1111. Includes an extra chapter - Tribute to an Engineer.
    No dust jacket. This edition, as I understand, did NOT come with one.

    Still need to find a signed/numbered original 1962 copy.

    Follows the C&N - Colorado and Northwestern and the D.B.& W. - Denver, Boulder and Western.
    From beginnings in Boulder, CO. West towards Nederland, Ward, Eldora and more!
    So far, about 300 pages in, very interesting reading!! Granted, about 1/3 of the pages read so far, are photos.
    Matches up nicely, with map picked up last moth, at club meeting. Which covered 3 of the very few accidents
    on the line(s) west.

    And since its on open space property, I have a chance to actually get out and explore parts of the grade in areas. And possibly the remains of structures from the day, standing or not.
    Gotta get decent weather first, in order to go!!
    Should make for an interesting day long trip! Especially since it isn't that far of a drive! Maybe an hour. Just gotta get west of Boulder. Think part of the grade is a hiking/biking trail heading up Boulder Canyon.
