Book
No Binding. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: No Jacket As Issued. Only graded Good because of some mathematical calculations in blue ink on the front cover. The front cover is also stamped "Southern California Division Electric Railroaders' Assc., Inc." The rest of the magazine is in excellent condition. Pages are clean and unmarked with light toning. Some pages have a mildly bent corner. Very light wear to edges of covers and spine. Very little wear otherwise. The magazine will be packed with a backing card, bubble-wrapped and shipped in a sturdy, flat box to ensure safe transit. This issue includes: "Railroad News and Editorial Comment" by David P.
