" is by Henry E. Bender, Jr., and was published and copyrighted in 1970 by Howell-North Books of Berkeley, California.  This copy is a "Second Printing - February, 1971".  The author states, "This the story of one of the last [narrow gauge] to be built... Besides being one of the last, the Uintah railway was out of the ordinary for at least three other reasons.  First was the unusual mineral it was built to carry, a glossy black asphalt-like substance call gilsonite.  Then there was the railway's wholly-owned subsidiary, the Unitah Toll Road Company... And last, but certainly not least, there was the fantastic grade climbing Baxter Pass - that five long miles of unremitting 7.5 per cent with its many sharp curves."  The book is well illustrated with black and white photographs, rosters or line drawings on most pages.  The pictures above show the
