To Stratford Under Steam now out of print

Congratuations to Peter Paton, who purchased the last copy of To Stratford Under Steam on August 1st.

We printed 3504 copies of this volume in February 2000. With the ninth installment (Lindsay) now in preparation, it is unlikely that Stratford or any of its successors will be reprinted anytime soon. The London and Palmerston books will be the next to disappear (each with fewer than 100 copies remaining).

On the Lindsay book, I have written the Uxbridge Sub, Blackwater, Coboconk Sub, Midland Sub and Midland town chapters. Up next are the Haliburton Sub, the Campbellford Sub and two Lindsay chapters. The Midland town chapter has been especially interesting to research and write, with all the coal, grain and stone tonnage heading toward my hometown of Orillia for furtherance north, south and east.
