[CBQ] Smoke Abatement-Question for the group

[qutlx1@aol.com]

Thanks so much for the lead on the "Smoke Abatement and  Electrification of 
Railway Terminals in Chicago".!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Since the University of Illinois seems to have   unencumbered access to my 
checking account(one daughter is a senior there). As I  have in the past, I 
had her go to the library and low and behold the general  library had a 
copy(which has been in my posession for short term use).The  engineering 
library 
has 6 more copies ! The copy I have now studied from  cover to cover was 
last borrowed in 1979.So they are not exactly in high  demand.
 
Do not understand why, as there is a wealth of info on RR  
operations,layout,etc if you dig into the book. The maps,charts,diagrams,photos 
 are a mass 
of info. This study went on for years and must have cost a  fortune.
 
Is there enough interest in Q, LCL operations in Chicago for  me to find a 
way to scan the mass of info on this subject and someday write an  article 
for the BRHS pubs. ?
 
Let me know.
 
Thanks,
Leo Phillipp
 
Ps-The shear volume of LCL operations of all the carriers is  far beyond my 
previous understanding.
 
If anyone is working on a "Lumber District" project you need  to access 
this book.
