CB&Q
Color Guide to Freight and Passenger Equipment

curious about how well the manufacturers are doing replicating
Burlington Route prototypes.
Spoor, Michael J.,
Chicago,

(Edison, NJ: Morning Sun Books), 1994). As stated by the author,
this first volume is focused on the "motive power and

into the early 1960s." Michael Spoor has done a superb job
of gathering high-quality color photographs of the
CB&Q during this period. A photographic treasury for the
serious modeler.
