>Hi Everyone,
The New Burlington book has just arrived. It is "Burlington Route
Passenger Trains - Volume Two" and subtitled "Vista Domes and Slumber
Coaches" is written by John Strauss and published by Four Ways West.
The 168 page book is about half color and half black & white
photos. The layout is similar to Strauss's previous books on the NP,
GN and Milw passenger trains. From the chapter headings it appears
the book covers from 1947 to 1959.
The main chapter headings are :
Dome Era Emerges: 1947 to 1952 (57 pages)
New Zephyrs and More Domes: 1953 to 1959 (79 pages)
and a closing chapter of detailed lineup at various locations
including several train lists by car number.
Mr Strauss is well versed to write about this topic, having worked
for the NP in St Paul in the passenger department.
See you favorite hobby shop, or contact me off list about this book.
