In celebration of Amtrak Train Days kicking off this Saturday, we're giving away a copy of Don L. Hofsommer's new book The Iowa Route.
In this book, Hofsommer uses the Burlington, Cedar Rapids & Northern Railway as the vehicle for his investigation of the birth, evolution, and disappearance of an important regional carrier, offering an inside look at the struggles of a small railway to stay relevant while railroad empires were being built. More than a bit player, the BC&N might have become even more important had plans gone forward to utilize its rails in a campaign to reach the Pacific. The book includes more than 200 photographs selected from Hofsommer’s extensive library of historic photographs documenting the history of the BC&N Railway.
Fill out the entry form below by May 9 for a chance to win this book. Good luck!
