Interurban Trains to Chicago (Photo Archive)by John Kelly
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Interurban Trains to Chicago follows Samuel Insull's Great Chicago Systems, three superb interurban routes powered by electric traction that carried passengers from the north, west and southwest into downtown Chicago. They were the Chicago North Shore and Milwaukee Railroad, Chicago South Shore and South Bend Railroad, and the Chicago Aurora and Elgin Railroad. Coverage includes the Skokie Valley Route, South Shore Lines and Sunset Lines. Vintage photographs, timetables and poster advertising are featured.
About the AuthorJohn Kelly grew up in Eau Claire, Wisconsin where his father’s best friend was an engineer on the Chicago & North Western. Kelly has been collecting railroad photos, timetables and dining car menus for 20 years and has a large collection. In addition, he has authored a handful of books on railroads in the midwest area to date.
