There's another option if you want a CB&Q route map. Just get one of the
"vacation planners" from the 30s, 40s, or 50s. One entire side is a map of the
system, approximately 19" X 36". I got mine off ebay for about eight bucks. Of
course it cost $80 to have it framed, but it looks great.

> BOY DO I CONSIDER MYSELF FORTUNATE .I have one of these maps which
measures 5 foot wide and 3 foot tall and it is in mint condition. I belive
the map was printed in 1949 do to a caption stating " The Centennial
cut-off ---the line from Brookfield to Birmingham, Missouri under
construction in 1949." I bought this map at a swap meet in Tulsa Ok 10 years
ago for $25. Two years later I found a 1947 map (same size) in very good
condition in a used book store in Tulsa for $5.00. I gave that map away as a
present to a friend in Quincy Ill. for his 50th birthday. If I had known
the value was $750.00 I would have made him pay for it. HA. HA. Win some
lose some. I guess I need to go Map hunting . Do I need a map to to find a
map? O well I'll figure it out. P.S. NO my map is not for sale. Contact my
widow after I die. ( I'm 46) Good Luck. HA. HA.
