First streetcar history of the El Paso system. September 29, 2008
The late Henry Leinbach's 1976 El Paso ELectric Company Transportation Division, A Tentative History, is a landmark work concerning electric street railways in El Paso, Texas. The fortunate thing is that Henry started this work in the late 1960s when he had access to interviewing many of the people involved in the system. El Paso electric streetcars ran from 1902 to 1974, first by the El Paso Electric Company, later by El Paso City Lines and the city of El Paso. The book is written for the trolley fan, is comprehensive in terms of equipment used and routes. There are a few honest errors. For example, the Mesa line is shown as going north on Kansas Street when it actually was on Campbell St. Overall, the only streetcar history available since the seventies, well worth the money.
