Subject: [CBQ] CB&Q, FW&D, C&S steam locomotive roster...done!
> Ok, everyone...we finally finished our project...taking the information
> from Bernard Corbin's book and putting it all into excel spreadsheet
> format. Now you can not only easily see the information that was in
> tables at the back of the book, but you can sort and view on any type of
> information you want...how many locomotives were built by Burlington
> shops? Which locomotives were in Hannibal in 1953? How may A-1s were
> built?

> Go to http://www.burlingtonroute.com > rosters and you'll find it. Enjoy!

> The readme follows:
> ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
> Information
> -----------
> This zip contains Excel spreadsheets of Chicago, Burlington & Quincy
> steam locomotives, including FW&D and C&S. We wanted to have the
> ability to sort and find information on Q steam locomotives, but most of
> the information was encapsuled in older books. We wanted a resource
> that was easily accessible by everyone, as well as sort-able and easy to
> read.
>
> Most of the information comes from Bernard Corbin's book, Steam
> Locomotives of the Burlington Route. This is a very good resource, and
> has detailed information about most of the Q locomotives. We've
> combined several tables in that book into several comprehensive lists.
>
> The CBQ_locomotive_long list is a complete listing of all classes in one
> huge list. This will help someone who may not know the details of a
> specific locomotive, so they can sort the entire list and maybe find
> what they are looking for.
>
> The CBQ_locomotive_paged list is for those who know what class or wheel
> arrangement the locomotive they are looking up has, and is broken out by
> class/wheel arrangment.

> Greg Koon, Ray Bedard, Tom Koch, Dan Hollis, Rob Adams, Richard
