[CBQ] Re: Book info

[jonathanharris@earthlink.net]

Joseph Hardy's Burlington Route West (South Platte Press, 2000), p. 19, has a 
photo taken from the waycar behind the second of 2 articulateds moving 8 (that 
is *eight*) boxcars loaded with feldspar up the Keystone branch in 1948. (It's 
a 4% grade.)

Hardy's book has a chapter on his experiences working for the Burlington in the 
Black Hills, including a number of his own photos not reproduced elsewhere (I 
believe).
