Re: [CBQ] New Morning Sun Book Review

My thanks to Ray and Roy for sending along their reviews of the book.  I think 
I will wait and take a look at the book at the next meet before I take a chunk 
of my hobby money and spend it.  I was hoping it would have almost all of the 
important structures from Chicago out and over the C&I as well as a 
comprehensive photo album of passenger depots in suburban territory.

Later, Dave Sarther

IMO, it isn't too bad. All color so there are a lot of modern photos, many with 
BN equipment along side the structure, maybe 1/3 of the photos are after the 
merge. Although there are some earlier shots, and even a some with steam 
engines.


I personally didn't find it that important to have, but I bought it before I 
really scanned it at the local hobby shop that sold it for $40, so I didn't 
feel it was out of my budget.


I guess I was looking for a lot more photos, older ones at that, of structures 
other than stations; coaling towers, switch towers, maintenance facilities, 
roundhouses, etc.


So, if you want a taste of Q facilities, it's not too bad of a book, IMO.
