Hello,
I have just reprinted a 132 page book listing prototype industries from
1943. The book was produced for the Milwaukee Road and lists each town the
line passed through and then listed ALL the industries of that town, and
identified each industry as Milwaukee served, served by another railroad,
joint served by Milw and another railroad or a team track customer. The
book is divided by commodities, such as "grain dealers", "refineries", "ice
manufacturers", "packing Houses" and many more subjects.
At any communities jointly served with the CBQ the industries for the CBQ
would also be listed. Some examples would be Rockford, Ottumwa, Auora,
Omaha, St. Paul and many more locations.
I use the book extensively for prototype waybills on my railroad. It also
has much historic value. The book has a plastic binding allowing it to
open flat. It has an attractive orange/yellow cover, same as the original,
protected by a clear plastic cover and heavy back cover.
The 132 page book sells for $29.95 plus $4.00 for shipping. I accept check
via mail or credit cards (3%) via my secure card at my web site below.
There were a very limited number of these books available.
