Complete Survey of a Fascinating Railroad Operation
With dozens of photos in its 128 pages, this book provides a through look at a miraculous Midwestern transportation system. The Ann Arbor used railroad track and Great Lakes boats to forward freight and passenger moving east and west, bypassing the Chicago "bottleneck." Starting in the 1880's, this plan evolved into a powerful "little giant." During World War I and World War II, it proved its ability to keep up with America's huge transportation needs. The author, who is devoted to the Ann Arbor, grew up in the area and has lovingly traced its story through the demise of the steamboats down to the rails-only portions of the road, which was still providing service at the date of the book's publication- 2005. Mr. Burkhardt has sown how the railroad served the people, and how the people were devoted to the Ann Arbor.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
