I have the Steve Goen FW&D book that covers the end of steam through to the end of the FW&D.  Lots of good color photos of late steam and early diesels.  Have not seen the other two books.

I have the Colorado Road by Hol Wagner and strongly recommend it. I have not seen the other book.

In 1970, C&S and FW&D became "fallen flags" when to BN merger took place.

You don't say what you are looking for from the books, but what about Richard C. Overton's Burlington Route.

I've decided to model the Fort Worth & Denver in the early to mid 1970's with the possibility of backdating to the early 1950's.  I believe I've gone just about as far as I can go with internet based research, and I have discovered two books to help me.  Can anyone recommend one over the other?

1st  "The Colorado Road" History, Motive Power & Equipment of the Colorado & Southern and Fort Worth and Denver Railways by F. Hol Wagner.

2nd. Wendover Acme & Virginia Point; A Contemporary Look at the Colorado & Southern & Fort Worth & Denver.
