RE: [CBQ] Northwestern University's Transportation Library

Glen-

They have a good range of CB&Q Annual reports.   The upstairs library is dismal….I’ve seen more resources in public libraries.   The stacks downstairs have old Railway Gazettes, Age, Illinois Warehouse & Railroad Commission reports, and other technical journals…..mostly mixed up and out of place and in poor shape.   Luckily, most of the earlier stuff has been digitized as far as technical journals prior to 1910.   I didn’t find too much there of interest but it may be worth a day’s research time….who knows what you might find.  Yes, you can sign in and get full access without a prior appointment.

Charlie:
 
I was not aware of this library as a transportation resource.  Is it accessible by the public, and worth a visit for CB&Q material?  If so, is the library within walking distance of Metra's Kenosha line.  I'm not familiar with Evanston.

The libraries I have a problem with are like Northwestern University’s Transportation Library whose collection has obviously not been touched except by vandals for a couple of decades with much material deteriorating to dust.
