Bulletin 69 is a 68-page issue containing two articles. The primary article is Rupert Gamlen’s “The Grant Locomotive Works and the Burlington’s Part in its Downfall.” This article provides a history of The Grant Works from its origins in Patterson, New Jersey, to its move to Cicero, Illinois, and the events that led to the company’s demise with the Burlington’s part in that. Many photos of early steam are included (including Grant-built narrow-gauge locomotives for the associated Burlington Lines), along with diagrams, drawings, maps showing the Cicero factory site, correspondence and advertising. The history includes the companies that would later use the site for their manufacturing and coverage of the products they produced. As a bonus, two short biographies of the wealthiest women in the world in 1890 and CB&Q President, George B. Harris are included along with a few surprises. The second, shorter article is “A Tale of Two Bridges,” where BRHS member John Marvig tells of his interest in bridges and shares a brief account of three CB&Q bridges. Two CB&Q Bridge Record drawings and a page from the ICC valuation with bridge information are included.
