[CBQ] Re: Waycar book

["Micheal Farley" <mfarley@702com.net>]

Mine arrived yesterday in Fargo, ND unblemished. What a packaging!

 

My only comment is that the caption for the photo on page 97 states that it was taken in 1975. I would propose that year is incorrect. CB&Q SW1 9145 became BN 90. This photo of the locomotive, painted Cascade Green, claims to be from 1974 http://www.rr-fallenflags.org/bn/bn90adb.jpg

 

I would like to say that as a post-merger modeler, I highly appreciate the photos in this book of waycars painted Cascade Green and yellow. Too often, Hill lines books and authors think the world ended on March 3, 1970, while it was actually the day that Jim Hill’s dream was complete.
