Does it have a decent map with the junctions labeled? I was disappointed with the map in the TP&W in Color book. In it, the captions adequately described the location of the photos taken in Peoria proper, but I couldn't find them on the map.
David, looks like United announced several new routes today. No PIA_> DIA. Interesting though that Appleton, WI did get it. And Madison got San Francisco.
PIA officials have stated publicly that they're trying to get DEN back. I figure it is only a matter of time PIA gets it back, but it may be at the expense of one ORD roundtrip. I hope not...
Any plans to purchase Morning Sun's new Trackside Around Peoria book? Or is it all old news to you? Do you know the author?

There's a decent schematic map in Ed Johnson's book with lines denoted with different colors.
DeleteI just want to say thanks for all the work you do. I love the PIA service history you post and look forward to more entries
ReplyDeleteThanks, BamBamFunkhouser, I hope to post the next PIA - A History series this weekend.
