When talking about fine railroad books, particularly about Chicago area railroads, there has recently been published one of the very best: the late Ed DeRouen's The Pennsylvania Railroad in Chicago. For anybody interested in Chicago railroads, just reading this book alone will advance your knowledge and understanding of just how Chicago railroads have worked over the years- by a quantum leap. It is not another Morning Sun (or ilk) un-vetted picture book, but a serious and totally absorbing page turner that advances the art quite a ways. Connections to a railroad do not in any way assure a great book about that railroad (Strauss was apparently a live-long Milwaukee Road engineer), and in some ways such close employment and/or family associations bestow an arrogance that often results in just the opposite. Ed deRouen never worked for the PRR (he worked in the utilities industry). As most of the listers know, he was a joyful and prolific Burlington fan. Denny Denny S.
