TMERL BOOK

[Overmod]

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

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...

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.

And "112" being bulletin 112 of the referenced organization.

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.
