Product Description
The self-described rubber capital of the world, Akron was the home of numerous rubber factories that made tires for Americas burgeoning automobile industry. Many of the raw materials needed to create rubber arrived by rail, and the finished products moved to market in freight cars. The citys major railroads included the Baltimore and Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Erie Railroads, but three regional carriers, the Akron, Canton and Youngstown, the Wheeling and Lake Erie, and the Akron and Barberton Belt, also served Akron-area industries. Written in cooperation with the Akron Railroad Club, this book chronicles the ever-changing Akron railroad scene since the clubs founding in 1936.

Akron Railroads May 13, 2007
If you know Akron and you're a railfan, then the Images of Rail series' "Akron Railroads" needs to be in your railroad library. This book provides a highly detailed account of Northeast Ohio's rail history, and it is packed with great photos that are bound to bring back a pleasant memory or two...at least they did for me.
