First, my Disclaimer: Let me preface my statements by saying I have no
connection with Mr. Linroth, have never met him, and will not gain from what I
am about to say.
Group,
This book is fantastic! I recently received my signed copy of the 2nd edition
and I am blown away by the number of photos, content of the text, and the
thoroughness of the research. Pictures of obscure towers/stations/locations
that must have taken years to find are all right there at your fingertips. If
you have any connection or can relate to the CB&Q/BN in and around this part of
Illinois, this book is a must for your collection. You will not be
disappointed. It will become a resource and tool that will be used and
examined for years!
