| Description | 1 map; 18 x 26 cm. Though Burlington (the Chicago, Burlington, & Quincy Railroad Co.) had an extensive national network, close examination of this map points out that the northwest portions of these routes are connections, and not part of the Burlington system. Northwest rail traffic at this time remained controlled primarily by the Great Northern and the Northern Pacific. For the most part, Denver remained the westernmost terminus of the CB&Q. |
