Synopsis
If you have lived or worked in the Windy City, you probably had occasion to use that city's famous rapid transit system commonly referred to as the “L". Now in its second century of operation, the formative years of this major transportation system are covered in this well-researched book. Starting with the incorporation of the city's first elevated railway companies in 1888, the book goes on to cover early steam operations, conversion to electric traction, expansion into suburban areas, special movements and the boom times of the 1920's. Generously illustrated with more than 400 photos, maps and advertisements, this 306-page book is a must for any person interested in Chicago transportation history.
As a special bonus, each copy includes folded, unbound reproductions of a rare Metropolitan West Side “L” map and a 1933 Chicago Rapid Transit Company system map.
