Author Leo Phillipp has crafted a series of articles about railroading in Aurora, IL, as experienced by the employees of the CB&Q. Opening with a brief look at the Burlington’s hometown, the Bulletin then covers the Shabbona Milk Run, a history and details of the Irish Mail, as well as interesting details about the Geneva Branch. Also covered are articles on the Alley Job (which could provide the basis for a dandy model railroad), the Aurora Storehouse and Freight House. A 4-page center fold-out carries a reduced Q engineering drawing of trackage from the Aurora Shops Coach Yards to the C&I / Mainline junction. The reverse side carries drawings of the Shabbona single stall enginehouse and the Standard CB&Q Motor Car Shed. At 76 pages, it contains 64 historical b&w and 48 color photos; 28 maps and 60 illustrations.
