[CBQ] Steel gons v composite gons

["'Rupert & Maureen' gamlenz@ihug.co.nz [CBQ]" <CBQ@yahoogroups.com>]

If anyone has an interest in the differences between the Burlington’s steel gons and composite gons, there was a presentation to the Western Railway Club in 1917 by William Queenan, Assistant Shops Superintendent for the CB&Q, in which he compared the history, qualities, rebuilding and repair costs of the GA-1’s built by Cambria  with those of the GA-2’s built by Standard Steel. The presentation was followed by a lengthy discussion by officials from a variety of roads.

The transcript of the presentation and discussion can be found at https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=uc1.b2978105;view=1up;seq=406
