Product Description
Here is the new, expanded edition of William D. Middleton's much admired book on the Chicago South Shore and South Bend Railroad, America's last interurban. With more than 250 photographs, maps, and schematic drawings, the rising and sinking fortunes of this technological triumph are chronicled from the first decade of the twentieth century to the present day. Essential reading for all those interested in railroads, railroad history, and the impact of America's last interurban on the economy of the midwest.

The Last Interurban October 14, 2000
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
With today's new developements there might be more (new) interurbans in America, but up to now the South Bend is the last Interurban. This book tells us all we need to know: the (sometimes reallly entangled) history of the CSS&SB, how she was renewed by Mr. Insull; how she survived until today. The book desribes the South Bend's history in depth - and very readably, it includes a wealth of photos. One of the pix I enjoyed most is one of a 1980's Interurban riding thru an Indiana town - beautiful.
