Synopsis
As late as 1963, it was possible to board high-speed electric trains on Chicago's famous Loop "L" that ran 90 miles north to Milwaukee. This was the Chicago North Shore & Milwaukee Railroad, commonly known as the North Shore Line. It rose from humble origins in the 1890s as a local streetcar line in Waukegan to eventually become America's fastest interurban under the visionary management of Midwest utilities tycoon Samuel Insull. The North Shore Line, under Insull, became a worthy competitor to the established steam railroads. Hobbled by the Great Depression, the road fought back in 1941 with two streamlined, air-conditioned, articulated trains called Electroliners, which included dining service. It regained its popularity during World War II, when gasoline and tires were rationed, but eventually, it fell victim to highways and the automobile. The North Shore Line had intercity rail, commuter rail, electric freight, city streetcars, and even buses. It has been gone for nearly 60 years, but it will always remain the Road of Service.

    I've bought these from this seller multiple times. They're a very good value, come with both a USB-A and USB-C cable, thermal pad, and good, simple packaging without a lot of wasted space. Seller often includes a handwritten thank you note too! Nice touch! :)

    Book was as advertised - new condition. Carefully packed. arrived safely and on schedule. Printing was of good quality. Good value for money. Seller did everything right. The writing has some issues but this is maybe the authors first book.

  • Images of The North Shore Line interurban railroad.

    This is primarily a book of photographs (B&W) of the Chicago, North Shore, and Milwaukee Railroad, that ran between downtown Chicago and downtown Milwaukee from the late 1800s until January 1963. It was referred to as America's Fastest Interurban, and lived up to that moniker. It contains lots of rare photographs of the North Shore Line during its operating days, along with a good but fairly short written overview of the history of the railroad.
