This one's for Jim Blum or anyone else who might know. In the 1970's, the Corps of Engineers had these brochures available at the locks on the Upper Miss. I think Jim told me they were adapted from a railroad brochure with the slogan "where nature smiles 1,000 miles" or something like that. Jim, which railroad was it?

C B & Q, The Burlington Route. [Chicago, Burlington & Quincy].
Bob and David did a masterful job of adapting these ACOE maps into the descriptive booklet the "crew fund" provided to UMR passengers for a Season, maybe even two.

Thanks, Jim and Jim! Someone had posted on the Facebook group "Mississippi River Photos" about that brochure and I wanted to add a little bit to it.
