In my local hobby shop today I saw a magazine (sorry forgot to check which
one) that had a story on Illinois railroads. On the cover it pictured
Bloomer Lines RR and the paint scheme was Chinese Red and Grey, White nose
stripes and the Bloomer spelled out in the classic Burlington font.
Also purchased a new book by W. David Randall called The Passenger Car
Library, Volume 1 - CB&Q, The Budd Company. It has some photos and drawings
from apparntly every type of lightweight car built by Budd for the Q. There
will be other volumes that will cover other railroads.
