{"product_id":"rails-around-helper-sueann-martell-9781531629564","title":"Rails Around Helper","description":"In 1880, the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad was hard-pressed to find a suitable rail route from Grand Junction to Salt Lake City. With the coal deposits of eastern Utah luring them on, railroad officials chose a difficult route over Soldier Summit. The railroad established the town where \"helper\" engines were attached to the heavy trains, and Helper grew into a division point with branch operations that reached into the nearby canyons to serve the blossoming coal industry. Numerous smaller towns sprang up to service the railroad, and in 1912, the newly incorporated Utah Railway laid tracks to share the right-of-way with the Denver and Rio Grande. The \u003cbr\u003etown of Helper is still a mecca for rail fans, and the story of its past lives on.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sueann Martell, Western Mining and Railroad Museum\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1531629563\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781531629564\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arcadia Publishing Library Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/29\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 130\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.91lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.61h x 6.69w x 0.38d","brand":"Sueann Martell","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43936716849407,"sku":"9781531629564","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_d2b71fb8-6ade-4e90-aeed-d8c8ca075fb5.jpg?v=1681426417","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/rails-around-helper-sueann-martell-9781531629564","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
