Is Ian Wilson really devoting all his working time
to a dramatic novel for juvenile readers? To be set in Washago, Ontario, amid the setting
for Steam at Allandale, Steam
Scenes of Allandale and Steam in Northern
Ontario? Could he be doing such a thing? Will he ever write any more railway
books? Questions, questions... but any
answers? |

Canadian Branchline Miniatures is dedicated to telling the story of railway operations on the Canadian
National Railways (CNR) in Ontario during the steam to diesel transition era of the 1950s.
To date, this story has been told through a series of hardcover books by author Ian
Wilson.
Our first eight publications, Steam at Allandale, To Stratford
Under Steam (out of print), Steam Over
Palmerston, Steam Through London, Steam to the Niagara Frontier, Steam
in Northern Ontario, Steam Scenes of Allandale
and Steam Echoes of Hamilton was joined by Steam Memories of Lindsay on April 10, 2010.
Similar volumes on other CNR subjects such as the
Toronto-Montreal mainline, the Oakville Subdivision and more Steam Scenes
editions are being considered. The focus of these publications is the CNR locomotives,
trains, operations, history and occupations during the railroad transition era of the
1950s. |

| What the reviewers are saying: It would be difficult to put together a book that better
depicts a particular railroad than this one - it entertains and informs with grace and
style. Take a bow, Mr. Wilson; you deserve it.
JIM BOYD
The best explanation of how such a place worked that
I have ever read.
WILLIAM SCHAUMBURG
I will continue to buy every book Ian Wilson puts
out.
JOHN SWANSON
Ian has set standards that any volume
should try and meet.
PAUL BOWN
These books are a series of chapters
telling and recreating separate stories about railway life... this is a semi-transcript of
"oral history" that may have been lost except for this effort. I felt as if I
was there in space and time.
TOM KELCEC
If you are a fan of CNR operations in
the days of steam you will want to acquire this work.
PAUL BOWN
An entertaining and informative read,
and a wonderful photographic essay about 1950s railroading.
