[PRCo] Trolley book finds

[Bob Rathke]

Today was opening day of the 2004 season at the Illinois Railway Museum.  The bookstore there acquired an incredibly large number of used books and other paper items over the Winter, and so they were selling them at extremely low prices in order to make room for more books on their shelves.
Paper items were being sold by the inch - $1 for a 1-inch stack of timetables, books, or whatever would fit in a box. Some items were even free - fantrip flyers going back to the 1930's, railway company annual reports (including several from PRC in the 1950's), line maps, and calendars.  

I filled a large carton with dozens of railroad timetables, magazines, annual reports, and....a like-new copy of, "PCC - The Car That Fought Back."

A good day at the museum.
