TMERL BOOK
Posted by CMStPnP on Saturday, May 8, 2021 7:34 PM

I found this book that is now out of print about the TMERL published by the CE railfans association.    The book seller knew it was a hard find and was charging $800.00 for the never used copy.    Interesting it is still out there in the supply chain.

If you mean CERA 112, you can find used copies many places at prices no more than in the $60s.

The problem I see with library copies is the binding is usually busted because it is so thick I wonder if a used copy has the same issue.

Greg, that's not the book.  Neither is the one on the line to Bloomington.

 https://www.amazon.com/TM-Milwaukee-Electric-Railfans-Association/dp/B0006CH9KG 

It's this one.

Note the 562 pages, hence the issue with binding...

I encourage you to list some choices using the service you used, as it pulls up sellers other than Amazon's in a common list...
