Hardcover, 224 pages, 8.

5 x 11 in., 98% color photographs and two maps. Gateway Western, A Regional in Transition documents the troubled and challenging history of an important segment of Midwestern railroading. The result of years of research, this book covers the Chicago, St. Louis, and Kansas City lines of the former Illinois Central Gulf (originally Chicago & Alton/Gulf, Mobile & Ohio) as they were spun off in the late 1980s.

There is a large selection of paint schemes on the locomotives in this book. The book starts off with the predecessor lines and then the many owners and railroads with trackage rights over this regional carrier. Some pictures of the terrible flood of 1993 are shown including the damage to the bridge at Glasgow, MO and its repair.

The first attempt was Chicago, Missouri & Western, that quickly ran into financial difficulty. With these important rail transportation hubs and Amtrak service between Chicago and St. Louis in jeopardy, a combination of events brought Santa Fe and others to the table and Gateway Western was created. Authors Ryan Crawford, James E.

Lewnard, and Matthew Freix share the history of both regionals (Chicago, Missouri & Western and Gateway Western) in this new book containing more than 200 pages. A wealth of color photos takes the reader across the system, show the equipment, and tell the story of this interesting chapter in Midwest railroading.

The book includes coverage of Amtrak, Kansas City Southern, Santa Fe, Southern Pacific, and other roads that were associated with this regional operation. Table of

Some years ago, C&OHS did a special book of Gene Huddleston’s Black-&-White photos. We are now publishing some of his best color images for the first time! Gene got his 35mm camera in 1957. We have selected a group of about 300 of his color slide images and placed them in this book.

Section I deals with the years 1957-1975 roughly and comprises about 4/5ths of the book. Section II displays some of his later 1975-1990s photography.

Gene is recognized as the premier photographer/historian of C&O in the post- WWII era up until his death in 2011. His C&O pictures have appeared in scores of books, but few of his color images have been printed into book form. Morning Sun Publishing did some of his color work about 15 years ago. This book seeks to correct and supplement that. Though Gene did not begin color until after the end of steam, his early diesel photos are important, as is the fact that he visited locales that were not frequented by other railfans of the later era.

The book is printed on 100-pound paper to the highest standards. The photos are arranged in east-to-west order from Virginia to West Virginia, Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana, and Michigan. Background text tells something about each area and era.

Unleash your creativity and soar to new heights with the Generic E2X rocket from Estes. This all-white rocket is the perfect blank canvas for customization, allowing you to tear down the barriers to creativity and express your unique style.

Here are some key features of the Estes Generic E2X rocket:

• All-white design: The Generic E2X rocket comes in a simple, all-white design, allowing you to customize it in any way you want. Whether you choose to decorate it with the foil self-stick decals, markers or paint, or simply leave it white, the choice is yours.
• Easy to assemble: Designed for the beginner in mind, the rocket kit is easy to assemble. You can have it ready to launch in no time.
• Impressive height: The Generic E2X rocket is powered by a standard engine, which can propel it to heights of up to 1325 feet.
• Reusable: The rocket comes with a recovery system that includes a parachute, so you can use it again and again.

Take your creativity to new heights with the Generic E2X rocket. Order yours today and let your imagination soar!

Tear down the barriers to creativity with the Generic E2X. This rocket is an easy way to promote creativity among your students. This all white rocket can be individually customized with the foil self-stick decals, decorated with markers or paint or just leave it white.

The Generic has an easy-to-assemble plastic fin unit/engine mount and a one piece nose cone. In addition, that makes it very easy to build, especially for kids that have never built a model rocket. Launching this customized rocket is easy, too.

The Generic E2X is a standard engine rocket that launches with a Estes Porta-Pad II Launch Pad and Electron Beam Launch Controller. The rocket has a 12 inch parachute for its recovery system.

More ways to inspire creativity and fun with the Generic E2X engine rocket:

• Group activity: Building and launching the Generic E2X rocket can be a great group activity that encourages collaboration and creativity. Students can work in pairs or small groups to come up with unique designs for their rocket. Then, they can help each other assemble and decorate the rockets.
• STEM education: The Generic E2X can also be used as a tool for teaching STEM concepts. Students can learn about the physics behind rocket flight, as well as the importance of designing stable rockets. They can also explore the different types of engines and fuels used in rocket propulsion.
• Design challenge: Turn the building and launching of the Generic E2X into a design challenge. Have students come up with specific design constraints or objectives, such as building the fastest rocket, the highest-flying rocket, or the most visually stunning rocket. This can help promote creative thinking and problem-solving skills.
• Outdoor activity: Launching the Generic E2X is a great outdoor activity that can get students outside and enjoying the fresh air. It can also be a fun way to break up a long day of indoor learning or testing.
• Interdisciplinary project: Incorporate the building and launching of the Generic E2X into an interdisciplinary project. For example, students could write a research paper on the history of rocketry, design and build their own rockets. Afterwards, they can present their findings and launch their rockets at a science fair or similar event. This can help promote a deeper understanding of the subject matter and encourage students to think creatively across different fields.

Aubrey Publications, hardcover with jacket, 198 pages, 8.5 x 11 x.75 in., B&W and Color pictures and illustrations.

When the Massachusetts towns of Bedford and Billerica clamored for a railroad, George E. Mansfield appeared on the scene and sold them on a new, inexpensive way to build one. He finished the line in 1877 and it was acclaimed around the world as a brilliant new departure in railroad building.

The Billerica and Bedford Railroad delivered everything its promoter said it would but, yet, it failed financially in less than a year. What happened to cause this failure? Using original railroad documents and letters along with newspaper and trade journal articles, the author delves into the behind-the-scenes machinations that plagued this 8? mile line.

The backgrounds of the people involved are explored to determine their goals and motivations. Numerous drawings of the railroad rolling stock and structures are included along with examinations of the technical aspects of line which made it so revolutionary.

George Mansfield went on to build the Sandy River Railroad as well as the Bridgton and Saco River Railroad, both of which survived into the 1930s and beyond. After only six years of railroad building, though, Mansfield seemingly vanished from the railroad scene without building another railroad.

This is the story of the pioneer two-footer which paved the way for the more successful narrow-gauge lines built in Maine and other locations around the country. It is also the story of the promoter of the Mansfield System of two-foot gauge railroads, who he was, where he came from and what happened to him and his dreams.
