Pete:
 
My copy of the book arrived in today's mail and you're right, it is a must for Q fans and does an excellent job of explaining the operation of the many Nebraska branch lines.  And your account of braking on several of those branches in the 1950s is certainly a vital part of the story.
 
Thanks, Jim Reisdorff, for publishing this one!

A brand new book, just out by South Platte Press is "A MUST" for anyone interested in the Branch Line Experience especially as it relates to the CB&Q and it's extensive branch line network that once existed in South East and Southern Nebraska.
 
Some great color photos of what were CB&Q trains now "wearing the green", but traversing what was left of the Q's mostly Wymore Division in the 1980's and early 1990's.
 
There is some narration by a former CB&Q "branchine brakeman" relating his experiences along with a couple of photos from the 'almost" heyday of those lines in the 1950's.  Captions of photos by co-author Paul Boslaugh are accurate and quite descriptive of the operation of these lines in the latter days.
 
The book retails for $29.95 plus $5.00 shipping from South Platte Press  Nebraska residents add 5.5% sales tax.
 
Order from South Platte Press PO Box 163, David City, NE 68632 or on-line at the South Platte Press website
 
Several hobby shops and/or railroad book dealers will have the book on hand...Check with your favorite supplier.
