I have 2 copies left over from the Streator show of this newer book which is a
compilation of CB&Q photos, most never published by the late Roy Campbell
(edited by Tom Burg). I was selling them for Tom as a personal favor.
The books retail for $29.95 - I'll offer these for a third off: $20.00 even
plus postage ($2.77 Media Rate - insurance or 1st class extra)
The books are 8 &12" x 11", horiz format with 148 pages of heavy coated stock
with 141 photos: very sharp!
Fifteen classes of Q steam are covered in alphabetical order from A thru S-4
plus a few C&S pics and 3 action shots of the Pioneer & Twin Zephyrs. Most
were taken by Mr. Campbell from the 30's to the 50's; he died in 1965. As
Advertising Manager for Kalmbach, he traveled a lot & took 1000's of photos -
hardly any published. This is a compilation of his best CB&Q photos including
a few he swapped with other prominent rail photographers (there are 20 by
Gerald Best).
All of Campbell's pics were taken in Wisconsin, Illinois & Iowa with emphasis
on Eola, the commuter line, Dubuque, Prairie du Chien & LaCrosse. Among the
unique pics are 4001 with shroud in LaX in "38, ex-Q 0-4-0 #573 working a
quarry in Aurora and long gone depots such as Prairie du Chien (the original
CB&N one), DeSoto, Stoddard & Wyalusing. A lot of trackside detail is shown:
coaling chutes, signals, water towers, etc. There is also a system map.
Contact me off list if you wish to buy either.
Gerald
