Hello everyone! I'm interested in learning alot more about the clinton branch, I believe it was known as the leaky roof line. Can anyone tell me if there are any books or good resorces about this branch, something with lots of pictues would be great! Thanks all, Craig
The Printery in Clinton, MO, published a small pamphlet called The Leaky Roof by Mahlon N. White; 1970 . It's hardly a compendium of data, but it has a few pictures, and it's my belief that most of the text is based on an 1934-ish article from the KC Star. I have the article but it's not handy at the moment. Frisco folks Brad Scott, Dale Rush, and Roger Taylor are KCCS experts, and they can answer most any question. I actually expect Brad to produce a major tome on the Leaky Roof someday. There is a fair amount of Leaky Roof data posted at this web site, so a few searches are in order.
