Dave Lotz's Q-Connection has connected me to the CB&Q's Ottumwa Division via the CB&Q Facilities Volume 3 Book. It arrived yesterday. I like all three of these Facilities Books, even with the grammatical errors, BN era photos, and occasional mis-labeling. Both this series and Mike Spoor's CB&Q in Color series are great for taking a quick rail fan tour of the CB&Q at any time of the year in the comfort of your favorite arm chair. Volume 3 reminds me of rail fanning along the Q enroute to BRHS Kansas City 2007-Fall, Creston 2005-Spring (?), Burlington 1999-Spring (?), and North Platte 2015-Fall meets. I loved the photos of St Joe, Centerville, Monmouth, Creston, Omaha, Glenwood, Pacific Junction, & those of depots that were already gone when I rail fanned this area in the 1999-2015 era. There was even a photo of the depot at Langdon & mention of Pete Hedgepeth's Lockport, Langdon, & Northern ! Ken Hannah & Art Peterson have hit another CB&Q Facilities Book out of the ballpark ! I plan to buy each book in this series and hope that there are several more to come. Bill H
