A question about Beebe's "Mixed Train Daily"

[NW Mailing List]

There's a copy of Mixed Train Daily at the NWHS archives in Roanoke.  I looked it over this morning and it does have info re: the Danville & Western - about 1500 words over 4 pages, and three photos.  The photos (all action, no roster shots) are different from what appears on your website. The text may overlap somewhat, except that's it's in the inimitable Beebe style.

Subject: A question about Beebe's "Mixed Train Daily"

Please forgive the cross-posting, but I'm trying to reach as many folks as possible.

I think that Lucius Beebe's book "Mixed Train Daily" has some photos and maybe extra info about the Danville & Western.  I think that because I have seen a handful of photos which say they're part of a collection to be published in that book soon (the reference was printed ca. 1947).  Before I buy the book, can somebody who has their own copy at least confirm that it contains some useful data for me?  Ideally, I'd like to be able to see the photos and compare them to those which I already have.  Most of what I have is on my web site at http://southern-railway.railfan.net/dw/ so you're welcome to compare for yourself and avoid any copyright violation if you prefer.

So, how about it?  Can anybody help?  Please?
