Description

This latest publication from the Shore Line Interurban Historical Society allows readers to explore Chicago street car routes from January 1945 through the end of service in 1958. Smartly captioned photos are printed on heavy paper and laid out in a logical, easy-to-read way.

Route-by-route summaries include historical facts and operational details interspersed with photos, ticket images, and maps — many of which are in full color. Readers are also given a “then-and-now” tour showing color images of streetcars in action compared to how the same location appears in the present day.

Be sure to see the color center-spread map of surface lines as of 1938 — with readable streets, landmarks, and legend.

The is a must-own for post-war streetcar enthusiasts and historians alike!
