The Omaha Well Remembered,
By Deadskunk "The Gile in Gordon" (Wisconsin's Northwoods) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Omaha Road: Chicago, St Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha (Hardcover)
Growing up in a town on the Omaha mainline in the 50's, I was quickly taught that the tracks going thru town were not "The Northwestern", but still "The Omaha". It was a proud line and this is a fine telling of its wild and interesting history, from loggers and lumber to cowboys and cattle. My only complaint at all (not a serious one) is in the text on the dust jacket stating how The 400 traveled through Black River Falls. In fact, by the time The 400 flashed through on The Omaha enroute from Chicago to Minneapolis in world record setting speed, the mainline did not even pass through Black River Falls, and the folks there had to go to my hometown, Merrillan, to get on the slick green and yellow cars. A great book, highly recommended!
