A Wealth of Information,
By
This review is from: Minnesota-Ontario Iron Ore Railroads (Paperback)
This book will be of interest primarily to railfans and those wishing to model the railroads it depicts. For them, it is a wealth of information, some trivial, some not so trivial.As the title suggests, it deals with one particular region of one industry served by rail. The history of the service is given along with the business practices. Also included is a wealth of data on the motive and rolling stock used by the railroads in this area. It would make dry reading for most but, as a reference, it is top notch.
