New Book About Milwaukee Road Line to Evanston
« on: February 05, 2011, 10:21:57 AM »
A new book just came out entitled \"Competing Rails-The Milwaukee Road\'s Legacy in Evanston and Wilmette.\"  It contains a lot of great information about the C&E line along with extensive track diagrams, maps, and photos.

The Competing Rails title comes from the fact that the Milwaukee Road competed early on for passengers with the L and the North Shore Line between Wilmette and Chicago.  

The book is published by the Shore Line Historical Society and costs $29.95.  www.shore-line.org.  I contributed some of the maps and track diagrams that were incorporated into the book.
