This is the first story about Loco Dog, short for Locomotive. He lived in a small, dusty Southwestern town in the depot with the rail yard yardman. The rail yard was always gritty, and sometimes dust devils swirled through it. One wild and windy spring evening, a huge, powerful dust devil forever changed the lives of a young boy and everyone who loved the rail yard and its big black dog. This beloved title is now re-issued in an expanded version, with an added 16-page history section about the railroads that came into the Santa Fe Rail Yard, past and present. The history section will include historical black and white photographs as well as contemporary color ones showing the current railroads operating out of the rail yard.
