-------------------------------------------------- 
This book is a compilation of CB&Q photos, most never published, by the late 
Roy Campbell (edited by Tom Burg).  

The books retail for $29.95 - I'll offer this final one for 25% off: $22.50 
plus postage ($2.77 Media Rate - insurance or 1st class extra)

The book is 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 
including 6 C&S pics, 1 FtW&D 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 (except the 
C&S/FtW&D in Colorado)  Most taken at Eola, the commuter line (inc. wood 
coaches!), Dubuque, Prairie du Chien & LaCrosse. Among the unique pics are 4001 
with shroud in LaX in "38, ex-Q 0-4-0T #573 working a quarry in Aurora and long 
gone depots such as Prairie du Chien (the original wooden 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 & brief bilbiography as 
all photos are well captioned.  My two favorites are the MASSIVE coaling ramp 
at No. LaCrosse dwarfing an 0-5 and the 'scale train' in Dubuque (steam loco, 
bunk car, scale car & tool car).  Also the side-by-said standard Q wood water 
tank & unique steel tank at LaCrosse are shown as part of two photos from 
oppostie ends; great for modelers.

Again, Contact me off list if you wish to buy the book.   Gerald
