1906-1915 Steam Loco Log Book

Hello,
New to this forum but have always had a love of trains. I decided to join this forum to see if anyone can tell me if this book I found at an estate sale has any value or if it should go to a railroad museum.
The book is a steam locomotive inspection journal with inspection dates of 1906 to 1915.
It lists the complete inspection date, boiler pressure, repairs completed,loco class and loco number, the yard the inspection took place and manufacture date of loco etc.
It is a thick leather bound journal about 10x14” and 2.5” thick. It is held together by brass rivets on the binding.
With the yard locations listed I believe this is probably from Chicago & Northwestern.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
