历史学家理查德·弗林特（Richard Flint）和雪莉·库欣·弗林特（Shirley Cushing Flint）在《大修》中讲述了阿尔伯克基火车头修理厂的故事，这些修理厂是该市70多年来经济的原动力。在他们的研究过程中，他们还记录了数千名保持机车运行的熟练工人，其中许多人是不断壮大的西班牙和美洲土著中产阶级的一部分。他们的关键工作使艾奇森、托皮卡和圣达菲的蒸汽火车保持运行，并建立和保持了阿尔伯克基在该地区的独特特征。
包括大量精选的历史照片，大修提供了对阿尔伯克基火车站在蒸汽铁路繁荣时期发现的人、地方、文化和特殊历史的一瞥。这些燧石生动而翔实地描述了这些商店和工人如何在杜克城的形成和发展中发挥了关键作用。
Overhaul: A Social History of the Albuquerque Locomotive Repair Shops
In Overhaul, historians Richard Flint and Shirley Cushing Flint present the largely forgotten story of Albuquerque’s locomotive repair shops, which were the driving force behind the city’s economy for more than seventy years. In the course of their study they also document the thousands of skilled workers who kept the locomotives in operation, many of whom were part of the growing Hispano and Native American middle class. Their critical work kept the Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe’s steam trains running and established and maintained Albuquerque’s unique character in the region.
Including a generous selection of historic photographs, Overhaul provides a glimpse into the people, places, culture, and special history found in Albuquerque’s locomotive shops during the boom of steam railroading. The Flints provide an engaging and informative account of how these shops and workers played a crucial role in the formation and development of the Duke City.
