I am so very ready for this book. To me the M-I is the short line version of the MOP, MP lite in some ways. Being way down in Louisiana I have no first hand familiarity with the M-I but the chapter and photos in Mopac Power sold me on the appeal of that little road a very long time ago.
Way back when we were kids, we’d see M-I boxcars down in New Iberia with only the buzz saw and “M-I” for the reporting marks. My buddy thought they’d forgotten to put all of the “P” on. 😮 😯 😆 . I had seen Missouri Illinois on other cars but had a hard time convincing him otherwise.
Author Charlie, after this will you show us more of your layout?
