Does anyone know if you can buy 8" x 10" prints from the Barriger Library 
direct?

List: The Barriger Library has now scanned 409 photos of the CB&Q on Flickr. 
Prior lists only showed a small number, this may be the complete set now. 
http://flic.kr/s/aHsjRv9kDa For us Illinois lads the following may be of 
special interest. In no particular order: #74 shows the west end of Clyde on 
center track going west. Moline coal is on the right at La Vergne. It also 
looks like they are re-ballasting the main line. #77 shows a shoo-fly around 
bridge construction at "I THINK", west of Naperville at the Du Page river. #150 
shows vertical "telltails" just before a steel bridge. I've never seen that 
before. #424 shows the Oregon Station in like new condition. #362 shows a very 
busy Galesburg station and many, many more!.  
 You can save the photos to a picture file by left clicking a photo. Then left 
click to bring up a size box. Click large. Then right click to save the photo 
in your picture file. These photos are for home use/study ONLY. 
Many of the photos will have to be flipped horizontally and/or vertically with 
an image editor because they were scanned wrong. You most likely will also have 
the adjust the contrast and shadows to see the details.
For those of you that don't have an image editor, the following link to a free 
home use editor and viewer and is excellent.

keep old guys busy...Regards..Jerry Albin, Homer Glen, IL
