| Railroads of Indiana |
| By : Richard S. Simons, Francis Parker (Contributor) |
Despite the great interest in railroads, until now no complete reference source for the railroads of Indiana has been available. This handsome book fills that need, providing an exhaustive description while detailing the fascinating history of Hoosier railroads, from that first ride to the present. Simons and Parker see Indiana's railroads as passing through five distinct eras -- 1830 to 1860, 1860 to 1900, 1900 to 1930, 1930 to 1960, and 1960 to 1996. The broad themes of Indiana railroad history are sketched within the framework of these periods. In addition, the authors provide a brief synopsis of each individual railroad system, tracing the corporate and physical growth and transition of each.
