[CBQ] Milepost206's 2014 calendar

[<gvlc6@hotmail.com>]

Those of you who subscribe to this long-time calendar have theirs but if not, 
here's what you missed:
 The usual format: high quality glossy stock & superb printing of some unusual 
Burlington subjects.
 There are 13 pics: 5 color & 8 b/w inc. 'duotone.  Subjs range from a Corbin 
pic of the interior of the Congress Park Tower (a truly sharp Corbin photo) to 
a CB&N 4-4-0 decked out for 4th of July in 1890's.  That may be the rarest or 
possibly a very old duotone view of #204556 Barnhart Ditcher with a 13 person 
crew.  Photographers range from Balinski, Shaughnessy, Raia, Perles, & 
Vartabedian to a 1st ever Bob Stanage. The latter shows in GREAT detail G-5 
0-6-0 in Omaha in "53 (Switchman on the footboard!) which matches nicely with a 
similar pic of SW-1 #9132 in Burlington - details for modelers are super!  My 
favorite overall though is steam wrecker #204376 working a derailment: 250403 
tool car (ex-baggage) is is good detail coupled to the wrecker.  For the 
modeler a great proto is the Nebraska Zephyr just a bit before BN meerger with 
only #9969, a Budd coach & a Q flexivan flat with 2 Q trailers.  A SHORT train! 
  The calendar retails for $12.95 & I assume a few mighrt be available @ 
Batavia.    Gerald
