The generally excellent trackside guide is flawed by some editorial lapses on the large map. The CN which appears on the (IC) lines, is, of course, Canadian National as is clear in the write up of the Canadian National Omaha Sub. <br /> <br />CMO is misidentified. It represents the Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis and Omaha Railway, which was owned by the Chicago & Northwestern. Incidentally the M & O, as it was locally known, had its own passenger station at Webster Street north of the Omaha central business district--even had one sleeper equipped train to the Twin Cities which operated via the Nebraska side of the river to Sioux City. I do not think that the line followed the route shown as abandoned parallel to Abbot Drive. Rather it followed what are now the UP tracks heading out to the North Omaha power plant. <br /> <br />Frank Conlon
