The Hetch Hetchy and its Dam Railroad presents a detailed account of the Hetch Hetchy Railroad, which was instrumental in providing water and power to San Francisco. The book, written by Ted Wurm, combines historical research with unique illustrations, photographs, and maps to tell the story of the railroad's construction and operation. Wurm, a long-time rail historian and author, has compiled a comprehensive study of the Hetch Hetchy Railroad, blending the tale of the water supply with the almost-separate life of the railroad itself. The book is illustrated with 480 drawings, maps, and historical photographs. Ted Wurm
