One of the most challenging engineering feats in railroad
construction, the Chihuahua al Pacifico railroad of Mexico was
conceived in the mid-19th century and opened in 1961.
Photo-journalist Glenn Burgess covered the final construction for
newspapers in Texas, exploring the engineering challenges and the
possibilities for commerce. His black and white photographs taken
with a 4x5 Speed Graphic camera provide an important record of this
engineering wonder. Don Burgess adds both historical and personal
context for the articles through notes and interviews. The
collection is illustrated with over 100 photographs and several
maps.
