Just received the book (Phil - second photo in the book is LOCH SLOY).

I takes up after Volume I and basically goes through late 1959 / 
early 1960.  It provides a lot of data and answers a lot of 
questions.  Some errors exist, but mostly in terms of the layout & 
editing (the table of contents misspells "Vista Dome" (an obvious 
typo); the CZ photos of some cars are actually of those cars in RGZ 
service, and they had been modified).

It supplies more consists for all Q trains in the 1948 - 1959 
period.  And some interesting photos (double baggage cars on the CZ, 
double CZ obs) and some interesting consists (an Exposition Flyer 
with a dome obs on it - which hitherto had been considered something 
that didn't happen - that the "signature" cars were held out of the 
Expo and started on the CZ with their only exposure being on the 
pre-run display trains).

Good stuff on the mail trains, and it explains some of the confusion 
with the Coloradoan and some mail trains.  Definitely worth the price...
