Book Details

All aboard for a wild, historical railroad adventure! This well-illustrated, true story tells of the Galloping Goose, a Depression Era railcar that saved a Colorado railroad from bankruptcy.

I have been a train enthusiast almost all of my life. I also love history and geology. Living in Durango, CO with my wife, Dana, three children and a dog has been the perfect place to enjoy all these things together. Colorado has a rich and colorful history and I wrote this book to share these interests with children and to encourage curiosity about the people and history of Colorado. -Phillip Nilsson
