Re: [CBQ] 1936 Shippers Guide

And an additional note of caution, for what it’s worth. I also have a Santa Fe book (not scanned yet), also published by Reynolds and Reynolds, and I’ve noticed obvious omissions; sometimes a city would be left off entirely for certain categories.  It almost seems like they sent a questionnaire out for the various divisions to fill out and whatever they got in return is what got published; there would be variations on how things were listed in each category, some cities would include the notations about whether the industry had a private spur, but some wouldn’t, etc.  I haven’t studied the CB&Q book much so I don’t know if it is better, but it seems similar.  Ted might more information as to how the books were made, and if some railroads have better books than others, or if it is a Reynolds and Reynolds characteristic of all of them.  

Thanks,
Julian
