Bob Richardson, co-founder of the Colorado Railroad Museum had this to say about the book: "An amazing record of the over 10,000 freight cars, not just lists of numbers but much interesting history of origin, use and changes. Anyone who thinks they know about the D&RGW cars will get a surprise in reading this book. It's been a pleasure to learn the answers to many smoldering questions while reading this."
