(a Sussex Branch Point of View)


I recently obtained my copy of Railway Milk Cars, Vol. 4 and am thoroughly 
pleased with it.  I'm modeling the Sussex Branch and Old Road in 1953 and 
this book was filled with pertinent information on the milk operations in 
those areas.  The book focuses on the milk industry and the trains that 
served it on the DL&W.  Bob also details the variety of milk cars that were 
converted into M of W service.  The photos and information are a great 
resource for me and I'm glad Bob has collected them and put them in one 
handy place for me to find.  Thanks Bob, the best $20 I've spent lately 
(since Vol 3!).
