Burlington in Transition covers just what the title says with late steam 
inlcuding the steam excursion locos that ran into 1966 as well as 1st & 2nd 
generation diesels so a great book for any modeling era except the very 
earliest.  A lot of nice features too.

John,

Thanks for the info! As far as expense, I shop at railroadbooks.biz. Chuck has 
the best prices and great selection, including the 
recently-mentioned-on-this-thread book on through passenger service.

The era I am most interested in is pre-merger. I have one of Poor's books; it 
offers tidbits here and there of what I want. I will definitely check out the 
Holck set and, even though my interest is not in steam, the Burlington in 
Transition book does look tempting as well.

Unfortunately, I live near Baltimore at this time. The B&O Museum's great, but 
obviously concentrated on eastern roads. However, I'm one of the 9+% 
temporarily unemployed in this country. With a, little luck though, I'll be 
moving someday soon for a new job, hopefully to somewhere closer to the Q's 
original stomping grounds.

Bryan B.
