Re: [CBQ] Why Wyoming

[Kenneth Martin <kmartin537@surewest.net>]

While the Burlington was not primarily built with land grants there were 
areas where they did get land grants. Some of that may have been from 
RR's the CB&Q bought, but it still applied to them.

See:
 Baldwin, William Wright, The making of the Burlington : remarks of W.W. 
Baldwin before the Burlington engineers of lines east section, American 
Association of Engineers, at Chicago, July 2, 1920 (No publisher data: 
1920:)

the Burlington Railroad (New York: Russell & Russell, 1967)
