In Rails To Carry Copper, author Gordon Chappell presents for the first time, the history of the Magma Arizona Railroad. With careful attention to detail, he describes the struggle to build a railroad, not only from the corporate level, but from the viewpoint of those who operated the line throughout the furnace heat and the great destructive cloudbursts that are both part of life in the Arizona desert. With over 200 photographs, maps and scale drawings, Rails To Carry Copper is a book that will appeal to rail fans and western buffs alike.
