By Burlington Route Historical Society Coming soon to a mailbox near you and available in the Company Store! Burlington Bulletin 57, “Homage to the E5”, by noted author and historian, J.W. (Bill) Schultz, expands the coverage of the Burlington’s fleet of eleven E5A and five E5B units (the only cabless E-units ever owned by the Q). The issue begins with a brief look at the Electro-Motive diesels that led to the E5 and its contemporaries, helping place the E5's life and times in context with those of the other 186 pre-war E-units. Comprehensive coverage, both in text and photos, of the E5 careers on the Q, C&S and FW&DC are the bulk of the issue. It closes with a brief look at it repatriation at the Illinois Railway Museum and off-ground excursions. This is a perfect-bound, 100-page issue, with 141 B&W images, 21 color images, 6 scale drawings (as built and 1960s versions), ephemera and an updated roster is a must for Burlington, locomotive or passenger fans! http://www.burlingtonroute.com/store/index.php?category=bulletin _._,_._,_
