A biography of a company that for years was on the cutting edge of development of a rapidly evolving and growing industry--production of streetcars and railroad cars.

A fascinating variety of open, closed, convertible, and semi-convertible cars, propelled by horse, steam, cable, and electricity, parade through the pages of this book. These old cars have a hold on the affections of many, and hundreds of them have been preserved in museums throughout the world. Just about every type of Brill-built product mentioned here is represented in a railway museum somewhere. Appendix A lists many of the world's trolley museums and tourist trolley lines where Brill cars can be found, and gives a list of all cars built by the firm. Appendix B lists the trucks and other specialties of the Brill Company.
