April 2019, sounds like a Britney Spears song title.
Our 2019 Canadian Trackside Guide is missing the Mount Clemens Sub, and there is some duplication.
Replacement pages are available for download (links below) which can then be printed (recommended 95%) and placed/pasted in the proper location.
We are sorry for the inconvenience.

March 2018, we discovered (along with some of our steely-eyed customers) that there are missing pages in the guide. Basically Section 14 Guide to Canadian Railways, pages 12, 13 and 15 are blank. Here's a formal response from Publications Committee:
Due to an error in the consolidation process, three pages in Section 14 Guide to Canadian Railways, pages 12, 13 and 15 are blank, and this error was unfortunately not noticed during subsequent review steps.
Replacement pages are available for download here which can then be printed and placed in the proper location.
We are sorry for the inconvenience.

If you've already ordered the Guide, we apologize and offer a link to a PDF file for the missing pages.
