Bloomington's C & A Shops: Our Lives Remembered (Transactions of the McLean County Historical Society, Vol 9)

Fascinating collection of oral histories from the men and women who worked in the Chicago and Alton Railroad shops in Bloomington, Illinois. Their stories cover the years from 1900-1972, spanning steam and diesel, and only end when the C&A's owner, the Gulf, Mobile and Ohio, was folded into the Illinois Central. The book is lavishly illustrated with pictures of the shops, the workers and management. 162 pages with index.
