Fascinating history of the central role played by Lincoln, Nebraska as a hub for the Burlington Northern and its predecessors, the Burlington & Missouri River and the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy. As the railroad spread west on to Denver, northeastern Wyoming and southern Nebraska, Lincoln became the Division center with its great Havelock shops for maintenance and repair for first steam and then diesel locomotives as well as rolling stock. The author provides a clear look at how the Division grew and prospered over the years. Illustrated throughout with black and white photos. With numerous maps. End papers show division map. 380 pages with index.
