CALENDAR CALL Maitland Tower Erie Crossing Shanty
The Maitland Tower kit builds into a model of the tower's initial configuration and can be modified to represent a number of other Erie west end towers. Maitland also broke up the block between Glen Echo and Cold Springs on the Dayton Branch and was used by the DT&I to issue trains orders. This served to extend the tower life more than anything else and remained in service well into the Conrail years. Crossing Shanty not included

www.alco628.com. Indiana University Press has released
a an updated and expanded edition of The Indiana Rail Road Company by Christopher Rund in honor of the road’s 25th anniver- sary. The book discusses INRD’s growth over two and a half decades and describes the development of the Illinois Central and discusses of the state of the railroad busi- ness in the era leading up to deregulation and IC’s later years of expansion and con- traction. These events led to Tom Hoback’s purchase of the Indianapolis Sub in 1986, when it became the nucleus of today’s Indi- ana Rail Road. The original text is accompa- nied by a foreword by Fred Frailey and four new chapters, one by Rund, one by Eric Pow- ell, and two by Frailey. Two chapters of new material trace the history of the Milwaukee Road’s Chicago, Terre Haute & Southeast- ern, which forms INRD’s north-south Latta Sub. Another covers the railroad’s branch built to serve the new Bear Run coal mine, and the fourth new chapter describes a typ- ical day’s operations. The book is illustrated with dozens of b&w and color photos from the steam era through today’s big EMD’s and features a color dust jacket by Mitch Markovitz showing an SD9043MAC on a coal train, as well as a Markovitz system map plus six others. This 304-page, 8¹/₂″×10″ hardcover sells for $39.95 from In- diana University Press, Dept. RF, 601 N. Morton St., Bloomington, IN 47404;
