    More than 100 vibrant, colorful, captioned images, plus section intro pages. Released in November 2018, this is the 10th in a series of
    photo
    CDs (not movie DVDs) featuring the work of longtime railroad photographer, editor, and artist Mike Schafer. This is a photo CD — a "slide show on a CD." We join Mike in exploring the late, great Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad—The Burlington Route. Coverage begins in 1964 and goes into the very earliest years of the Burlington Northern, into which the CB&Q, Great Northern, Northern Pacific, and Spokane, Portland & Seattle merged in 1970. Mike' CB&Q "territory" was primarily northern Illinois and Chicagoland, but there's also scenes from Omaha, Nebraska, and a slice of Colorado. Some steam action with 2-8-2 4960 is also included. Wait, there's more—two special sections devoted to two notable CB&Q events in northern Illinois: the 90-m.p.h. wreck of the combined Afternoon Zephyr/Empire Builder at Lee in 1965; and the wild-and-crazy four-day Zephyr detours through Rockford in 1967. You'll have to see this to believe it.
    This is a photo CD with still images made from Mike's original color transparencies (slides), many of which have never been published or even shown at a regular slide show. You can view the CD "slides" by running them on a CD-readable DVD player or a Blu Ray player or your PC or Mac through to your large-screen TV or digital projector. Use Photo Viewer (PC) or iPhoto or Preview (Mac) or similar to view them on your computer. You can set them up to show automatically or you can advance and pause as with a regular slide projector. The high-quality JPEGs can also be used for desktop background photos.
    The start of every main section includes introductory text and every main photo includes a caption.
