“Overhaul: A Social History of the Albuquerque Locomotive Repair Shops, by noted historians Richard Flint and Shirley Cushing Flint, engages readers in more than a local history of trains and tracks. In these pages, a story emerges about Albuquerque’s multicultural growth spurt during the twentieth century. May it deepen people’s respect for these buildings and spur our resolve to save them.”—Kate Nelson, New Mexico Magazine
“A comprehensive history of the shops.”—David Steinberg, Albuquerque Journal
“The importance of the Albuquerque shops to the evolution of the city has long been known, and many authors have mentioned it in passing. However, in this dedicated history, the Flints have taken the story from beginning to end in a carefully researched yet highly readable book. This is a must-have for Albuquerqueans, historians, and railroad buffs.”—John Taylor, author of Bloody Valverde: A Civil War Battle on the Rio Grande, February 21, 1862
“This impressive work by two of New Mexico’s outstanding scholars is thoroughly researched and elegantly written. Overhaul addresses a long-neglected and crucial piece of Albuquerque industrial and cultural history.”—Rick Hendricks, coauthor of Four Square Leagues: Pueblo Indian Land in New Mexico
