The Definitive,
By J. Stephen Sandifer (Houston, TX) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Chicago & Illinois Midland (Hardcover)
Richard Wallin and company have prepared the definitive history of the Chicago & Illinois Midland Railroad. This 1979 publication is illustrated with 355 black and white photos and maps that document this short railroad (121 route miles). This book has rare and valuable photos of the locomotives and industries of the C&IM as well and extensive and informative text. If this is your railroad, you must have a copy. 240 pages, hardback.
