Unbelievably, a good copy of Dave Conrad's "Steam Loco Directory of North America, Vol. 2: Western United States and Mexico" surfaced at a local Barnes & Noble. $25.00 plus tax ($1.25) plus whatever it costs me to mail it.

If there is anybody who wants it now, e-mail me at above address (remove hyphens and "nospam"). If you live in the Northeast and want to take out the middleman, it's the Barnes & Noble in White Marsh, Md. (northeast of Baltimore).

Amazon, BTW, lists two copies at $25.95 and $29.99; Vol. 1 (Eastern US/Canada) is there for $75 and up.
