Chicago Great Western Railway

Handsome black and white pictorial of the Chicago Great Western railroad in Iowa in the diesel days. Covers the Districts (Chicago, St. Paul, Clarion and Council Bluffs, and Des Moines), the Oelwein yards and shops, the Tripoli branch, and the snowplows. The photos are almost all acton shots taken by the author so there are plenty of trackside structures to inspire the modeler. With roster of diesel locomotives (1936-1968) and system map. 80 pages.
