Book about the north side

Hi,

Just wondering because I haven\'t heard anything in a while.  How is the book coming along?  I can\'t wait to see it!

That makes two of us.  I haven\'t seen the proofs yet so I\'m not sure when the final version will come out.  There was a rush by the MRHA to have it ready in time for the convention this past spring in Elgin but since that event has come and gone there apparently is no rush.

Is it a book or the quarterly publication from MRHA?

The book is a special edition by the MRHA and not part of the normal quarterly The Milwaukee Railroader magazine.  It\'s similar in format to previous MRHA softcover books including the one on Milwaukee\'s Beer Line.  It\'s also the longest MRHA book to date at 80 pages.

I still haven\'t seen it on the MHRA site.  Is there anywhere else to get it?

Hopefully it will be posted soon on the MRHA site.  I will ping the the president of the MRHA and let him know it\'s still not there.  I knew they planned on putting it up about now.
