As many of you are aware the Missouri Pacific Historical Society purchased the Mopac portion of the Joe Collias Collection in September 2018. I’m working on a 144 page book that highlights some of the best images. Horizontal format with full page images. I’m about 90% finished and am finalizing the captions this month. Hope to turn the manuscript over the Donning the end of this month. Chapters include steam, diesel, rail yards and a few surprises. In the collection is Wayne Leemans negatives. He documented a local switching at Sikeston, the coal fields in Southern Illinois, helper service over Kirkwood and more! Book should be available by the end of this year.

August 7, 2021 at 9:45 pm #10226bargetanikaParticipantI’ll take one. Any NOT&M going to be in it?
August 8, 2021 at 9:31 pm #10228peggyrothschildParticipantIt’s based on the Collias Collection so there’s a shot a VO660 at Brownsville and a few in Louisiana but he didn’t get that far south. But you won’t be disappointed in the content.

August 11, 2021 at 2:28 pm #10236peggyrothschildParticipantA few images from the upcoming book. Photos were taken from six different sizes negatives.

We had one 8×10 negative labeled on the envelope ‘7th Street Freight House, St Louis, Mo’ I was using for the book Bill Pollard said it looked like the Mopac Memphis freight house and sent back some images that certainly showedwas a match. I was able to enlarge the part of the negative with the trunks of the late 1920 cars and could read ‘TENN’ on the plates to verify it was the Memphis location.

Maybe you can add a pre-order item to the store.
August 13, 2021 at 3:35 pm #10245bargetanikaParticipantI thought Collias hated diesels.
