Synopsis
If you're planning to take the train between Chicago, Galesburg (Illinois), and La Plata (Missouri), then this is the book for you. This 252-page rail route guide serves as a milepost by milepost guide to the historical and natural sites out your window. Did you know that the site of the deadliest mining disaster in the Midwest can be seen from the train? Or how about the reconstructed Mormon Temple at Nauvoo, Illinois that marked the start of a historic trek to the Great Salt Lake Valley? In addition to text, there are hundreds of pictures of the landmarks you will be looking for too. A portion of the sales from each book is donated to the American Passenger Rail Heritage Foundation, a non-profit railroad history group based in La Plata, Missouri.
