During the first six decades of the Twentieth Century, Southern California boasted a comprehensive network of suburban electrically powered trains and trolleys. Known as the Pacific Electric, it was the world's largest interurban electric system. In their bright red livery, the Red Cars went everywhere. Lines extended along the beaches from Balboa to Santa Monica Canyon; from the cool snow covered alpine heights of Mount Lowe to the hot dry sandy desert of the San Fernando Valley; and from Los Angeles to the rural orange groves of Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino Counties. At its peak, Pacific Electric operated 6,200 trains daily over 1,061 miles of track. Raphael Long was there at mid-century photographing the system during its final years under Pacific Electric management. Presented here are 230 images from Mr. Long's private collection. Red Car Era is filled with memories of a Southern California and Pacific Electric Railway that once was and will never be again.

He demonstrates how a variety of forces--immigration and "King Wheat," the postwar oil and potash boom, and the spread of American popular culture--shaped the economic and social fabric of Regina over nearly a century. He offers finely crafted thumbnail sketches of her prominent and powerful citizens, and of more obscure citizens who nonetheless contributed… Read More

NellesPublisher: Peter Martin Associates Limited, Toronto, ON, 1977ISBN: 0-88778-168-3This book is a lighthearted though impeccably researched excursion through the thickets of chicanery, hypocrisy and sanctimpny that were the special marks of High Victorian Toronto. A rollicking good story peopled by flamboyant characters with Good and Evit fighting it out in public view. Richly illustrated with cartoons and photographs from the period, it is an exuberant refutation of the notion that Canadian history is dull.

Title: Rio Grande Memories of Final Years, Colorado Rail Annual 28 Author: Hill, Ronald C. Publisher: Colorado Railroad Museum, Golden, CO ISBN: 0-918654-78-5 Condition: Excellent, Like New Ships from Alberta Customer Comment: Excellent picture book of the last few years of D&RGW operations. Not much in the way of text and information, but that can be found in many other books. Great for just looking (rail fanning?) the railroad at various locations.
