Description

Articulos de prensa y fotografias; de Glenn Burgess; editados por Don Burgess: El ferrocarril Chihuahua al Pacifico de Mexico es una de las obras de ingenieria que mas retos ha presentado en la construccion de caminos y ferrocarriles: Concebido desde mediados del Siglo 19, no fue posible terminarlo e inaugurarlo sino hasta 1961. Glenn Burgess, fotoperiodista, realizo reportajes a lo largo de la construccion final, para periodicos de Texas, explorando la zona desde Ojinaga hasta Topolobampo, conociendo los retos de ingenieria y construccion, y las posibilidades que abria para diversos sectores de la economia, el comercio y el turismo. Sus fotografias, tomadas en blanco y negro con una camara 4 X 5 Speed Graphic, son un importante documento de esta maravilla de la ingenieria. Don Burgess, residente en la region desde esos anos, completa los articulos con aspectos historicos y personales, notas y entrevistas. El libro esta ilustrado con mas de 100 fotografias y mapas. Published in English as _Sierra Challenge: The Construction of the Chihuahua al Pacifico Railroad_. One of the most challenging engineering feats in railroad construction, the Chihuahua al Pacifico railroad of Mexico was conceived in the mid-19th century and opened in 1961. Photo-journalist Glenn Burgess covered the final construction for newspapers in Texas, exploring the engineering challenges and the possibilities for commerce. His black and white photographs taken with a 4×5 Speed Graphic camera provide an important record of this engineering wonder. Don Burgess adds both historical and personal context for the articles through notes and interviews with the peoples of the Sierra Tarahumara. The collection is illustrated with over 100 photographs and several maps.”
