Have one extra copy each, 1st Edition hardbounds, of 2 of Richard Overton 
authoritive books on the Burlington:

 

BURLINGTON ROUTE  publ. 1965.  556 pages of text (29 chapters plus 4 pp 
Chronology); 8 pp. Biographical Notes; 23 pp Bibliography (books/articles about 
the Q from A to Z!) & 40 pp Index.  The text contains 32 pp of photos (63 in 
all) plus 29 maps & 15 charts (these have their own 2 pp Index).  It's in 
excellent condition with full color dust jacket.  Learn such things as the 
Burlington's application to the CAB to run helicopters (yes, helicopters!) from 
Des Moines & Galesburg for Zephyr connections and why CB&Q once considered 
buying GN. (and their consideration of extending to the Pacific)  Included is 
the original small yellow page of "errata".  This is a one owner copy.

 

BURLINGTON WEST  publ. 1941 by Harvard Press. (subtitled "Colonialization 
History of the Burlington Route) 488 pages of text plus 3 pp contents; 6 
appendixes totaling 48 pp; 16 pp Bibliography & 25 pp Index.  The text includes 
27 illustrations, 29 maps and 11 graphs.  In some respects this has more 
coverage of the Burlington's roots than "Burlington Route".  Extensive coverage 
of B&MR & such detail as origin of the term "Burlington Route", the 25+ special 
agricultural trains, the chicken farm in Nebraska leased to supply dining cars 
& ties to "Buffalo Bill".  Endpapers are a system map coded as to when each 
line was constructed.  Overton researched this while on the CB&Q payroll with 
full access to all records & all employees.  This copy is also a one owner in 
excellent condition except it lacks the dustcover.

 

Best offers by Dec. 1 (so I can get them to you if intended as a Christmas gift 
to yourself)  Contact me offlist:  vje68@hotmail.com     Happy Thanksgiving!   
Gerald
