Phil-

Yes, it would be.

It is at:

University of Missouri - St Louis
University Libraries, Thomas Jefferson, St. Louis Mercantile Library, (former branch library: Ward E. Barnes)

Saint Louis, MO 63121 United States

Document Type:	Book
All Authors / Contributors:	Will B Hunter Find more information about:
OCLC Number:	80017951
Description:	20 leaves : ill. ; 19 cm.
Responsibility:	by Will B. Hunter.

If a member lives near the library it would be great to get copies made of the book (20 pages??)

There is quite a bit of material about the Burlington and its “Greyhounds” with comparisons of the 590 to the H class and M Class (4-4-0), all of which turned in enviable performances on the Fast Mail.   It would make a dandy BB article.

Hello Rupert, Louis, and All -

Is the Burlington Route pamphlet "How the Greyhounds of the Burlington Beat the Rising Moon" (or something

close to that) available somewhere online???

All of this sure seems it could be a nice feature in the BB or Zephyr.       PAW
