"Chicago, Burlington & Quincy in Color" is a highly regarded hardcover pictorial book series published by Morning Sun Books and authored by railroad historian Michael J. Spoor.
The series offers an extensive, vintage color photograph tour of the famous "Burlington Route" (CB&Q) railroad during its transition from late steam power to first- and second-generation diesel locomotives.
Each volume consists of 128 pages filled with historical color photographs accompanied by detailed captions.
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy in Color, Vol. 1: Focuses heavily on the "Lines East" territory, taking readers on a guided tour through Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, Minnesota, and Wisconsin. It captures mid-century streamliners pulled by E-units, motor cars, and rare color shots of steam engines hauling freight.
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy in Color, Vol. 2: Focuses on the era when second-generation diesels began to arrive on the system. This volume beautifully documents the transition where the traditional black-and-gray paint schemes gave way to the vibrant, iconic "Chinese Red" and gray livery.
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy in Color, Vol. 3: Continues the deep-dive historical coverage of the "Q" network with over 250 vintage color scenes, highlighting regions such as St. Louis and Des Moines.
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy in Color, Vol. 4: Features a comprehensive look at the Chicago-Galesburg main line, Illinois branch lines, and less-photographed system operations across Missouri and Iowa.
