 A compilation of superbly reproduced black-and-white period photographs February 5, 2008
A compilation of superbly reproduced black-and-white period photographs, John Kelly's "Interurban Trains To Chicago" (after an informative introduction) is organized into three distinct and distinctive chapters: Chicago North Shore and Milwaukee Railroad -- Skokie Valley Route; Chicago Aurora and Elgin Railroad -- Sunset Lines; Chicago South Shore and South Bend Railroad -- South Shore Lines. These legendary electrically powered interurban train lines carried passengers to and from downtown Chicago from the north, west, and southwest areas of the famed Windy City. Offering a visual wealth of vintage photographs, as well as timetables and poster advertising, "Interurban Trains To Chicago" is an especially recommended addition to personal, academic, and community library American Railroading reference collections. Dedicated railroading enthusiasts and librarians seeking to strengthen and expand their railroading history collections would be well advised to visit the Iconografix website for a complete listing of their many railroad and railroading oriented publications.

I expected a colors photo archive instead the whole book, except for the cover, contains just black and white pictures; even more some of the pictures were already published in others books.

. . . this book wasn't for me. My father-in-law IS from Chicago AND he loves trains. This book will be his Christmas present. The pictures are clear and since I love old pictures, I do like that about it, but I can't vouch for authenticity.
