[CBQ] BRHS Digital Library

["Rupert Gamlen via groups.io" <gamlenz=hotmail.com@groups.io>]

I’ve uploaded another 140 or so items to the BRHS Digital Library so there are now about 3,650 items in the Library.

Included this time is material from National Car Builder in the early 1870’s including trucks, the Aurora Shops fire and replacement buildings and details of B&MR coaches and “accommodating cars”.

>From Railway Age 1943-1945 are articles about the replacement stations at Burlington and Rockford including floor plans, installation of CTC at several points, the Lincoln and Galesburg hump yards, Pendulum cars, CB&Q helicopter, Army passenger cars including troop sleepers, Pioneer Zephyr 10th birthday, Burlington-Rock Island lease, Silver Dome and the GM Astra Liner concept train which inspired it, and several articles on the proposed passenger equipment planned for when the War was ended including the Budd Budgette sleeper, Pullman casino car and AC&F sleepers.

Access to the Digital Library is through the Members Only side of the website, and it is the fourth “box” down. You can browse through a description of all the items uploaded or search for specific subjects.
