In The Train Stops Here: New Mexico's Railway Legacy, Santa Fe architect Marci Riskin provides the reader with a brief but informative history of railroad development, and then precedes to focus upon the architectural features of New Mexico's railroad buildings to help explain how railroads work. Historical buildings and their attendant railroads are organized geographical by rail systems (including the Santa Fe system, the Denver & Rio Grande system, the Colorado & Southern system, the Southern Pacific, as well as the El Paso and Northeastern lines). Enhanced with appendices on "Remaining Railroad Structures in New Mexico"; "Heritage Tourism", "Useful Contacts"; "Railroad-Related Museums in New Mexico", extensive notes, a glossary, a bibliography for further study, and a comprehensive index, The Train Stops Here documents the architectural impact that 19th century railroad companies had upon the developing New Mexico towns. A work of original scholarship that is also completely accessible for the non-specialist general reader, The Train Stops Here is especially recommended for personal, professional, and academic library reference collections in Architectural Studies, Western History, and American Railroading History.
