Leo,
I for one would definitely buy this book or CD
if it were available again, even with my era being
later. I love this kind of detail on Q trains and
since it includes CUS to Savanna it is on the line
I model. Does Dan Holbrook monitor this group? If
so, Dan, I recommend making this available! I
would also like to see any later info you have
that would fit the late-60's!
Anyone else out there interested in this info?
P.S. to Ed Sutorik: As you put together your
info from 1965, please share!

This was created by BRHS member Dan
Holbrook under the entity Range Research and
is copyrighted. The title page states that
there would be future editions of material
including one on freight car assignments. To
my knowledge this was the only work
published.
If there is enough interest possibly Dan
could be enticed to do a new run or allow
the BRHS rights to do so as a project.

I have never heard of this book. I
tried to do a Google search but
nothing came up. It sounds like
something that would be nice to have.
Does it list the actual train
consists, etc.? Does anyone know how
to possibly get a copy?
Also, while I model 1965 to 1970,
since Wikipedia says it was September
1967 that the POD cancelled all
"mail by rail" contracts, would
these foreign cars potentially
have continued in this service
until 1967? It would be great if
there was a similar book to the
one Leo mentions for 1965 to
whenever.

Books.
PRR,NYC,REX,DLW,UP,NP,GN,SP,B&O,TP,MP,SOU,RI.
These trains were a mixture
of regularly scheduled, extra
sections, extras, and even a
couple "berry specials".
As mentioned in another
response many of the mail trains
had the converted troop
sleepers.
Leo Phillipp
Well
it is not from 1965 but I
have a conductors book
fron1955. cars that show
up are mainly from: The
Pennsylvania, B&O, UP,
SP, & NYC.
I
don’ t think that much
would have changed by ’65
however after that mergers
start hapening.
Hope
this helps.

I'm putting
together an
approximation of a
CB&Q storage
mail and express
train from about
1965. Clearly, Q
cars would be in it.
But I am wondering
which other
railroads would have
contributed cars.As
I said, the train is
an approximation,
using off the shelf
cars. One of which,
anyway, is brass. So
it is not intended to
be an accurate train.
I've got some
Walthers E units on
order, and they will
need something to
pull.Suggestions
appreciated, and thank
you,
Edward Sutorik
