The 2013 edition of the Canadian Trackside Guide, compiled and edited by Earl W. Roberts and David P. Stremes, has been re- leased by the Bytown Railway Society. Considered the most complete compendium of information on Canada’s railways, this 31st edition continues the tradition. Thanks to the operations of Canadian National and Canadian Pacific in the United States, the book covers a good chunk of territory south of the 49th parallel as well, including from Chicago to New Orleans, Portal, N.D., to Chicago and Detroit, the former Dakota, Minnesota & Eastern and Iowa, Chicago & Eastern, and the Canadian Pacific routes from Buffalo and Montréal to Binghamton and Albany. You’ll find rosters of main line, short line, and preserved locomotives, work equipment including cranes and snowplows, cabooses, and passenger equipment along with maps, station lists, and more for every major railroad, short line, tourist road, and passenger operation, along with lists of ra- dio frequencies, a list of reporting marks, and charts that show signal indications and trackside signs. Detailed maps illustrate im- portant rail centers including Moncton, Hal- ifax, Québec City, Montréal, Ottawa/Gati- neau, Windsor/Detroit, the Niagara region, Hamilton/Burlington, London/St. Thomas, Toronto, Thunder Bay, Winnipeg, Regina, Edmonton, Calgary, and Vancouver. Passenger schedules are provided for White Pass & Yukon, Algoma Central, the BC Rail shuttle between D’Arcy and Lilooet, Ontario Northland, Tshiuetin Rail, and the Rocky Mountaineer, along with general infor- mation on 20 tourist and preservation rail- ways. The “Guide to Canadian Railways” sec- tion gives mileages and stations for every subdivision operated by a Canadian railway in the U.S. as well as Canada, along with many regional maps. In addition, train num- bers and their corresponding origin/destina-

society.ca. Now in its second printing, The Best
School I Ever Attended by Michael C. Gille- spie tells the story of the author’s experi- ences as a young “depot rat” in the early 1960s on the Southern Railway’s Cincinnati, New Orleans & Texas Pacific main line in Georgetown, Ky. This slim volume is packed with information on the day-to-day freight and passenger operations of the CNO&TP, the connecting Frankfort & Cincinnati, and some discussion of the competing Louisville & Nashville. Gillespie and his friends helped handle the mail, chased down a runway ca- boose, snagged the occasional cab ride, and even rode the F&C over to Frankfort one day. The author even tells of a Monon plot, ultimately thwarted by L&N interests, to move into the eastern Kentucky coalfields. Gillespie himself may have had a significant effect on SR’s well-known Big John freight rate fight with the Interstate Commerce Commission. He personally banged out 1711 letters in support of the railroad’s position to Senators and Congressmen on the station’s spare typewriter at the behest of the local trainmaster, who promised to pay him a quarter for each one (and got a lot more than he had bargained for). The letters naturally left town on the railway post office of the northbound Royal Palm. This 116-page, 6″×9″ softcover includes a handful of b&w photos taken by and of the author and sells for $12.95 plus $2.50 shipping (check or money order) from Michael C. Gillespie, 8104 Greenwood Ave., Munster, IN 46321.
