Well-researched and thorough. I particularly like that unlike many such histories, this one acknowledges that the world did not end when the last trolley pole was hooked down, but rather continues through the usually ignored bus years, even including the RTA/Pace era. Readers not intimately familiar with the area will want to flip ahead to the route maps to better understand some of the historical text, otherwise a fine work.
A very thorough and detailed history of this Chicago west side suburban trolley line. Starting out with the multiple predecessor lines. Then the merger in 1913 through to the last running in 1949. Plenty of photos (only a few in color), in all seasons. The book is divided into early history, then sub-sectioned by each route, then looks at the bus replacement routes.
