| Chicago Transit: An Illustrated History |
| By : David M. Young |
Telling the story of every major transit innovation in Chicago's history, Young reveals a vital panorama of the city's growth. Beginning with the evolution of the horse-drawn omnibus -- Chicago's first mass transit system -- Young explores the competition for passengers and space by the growing proliferation of streetcar lines, railroads, and automobiles. He highlights the development of the Chicago Transit Authority and the Regional Transportation Authority and the growth of the Illinois Central and the Chicago North Western railroads. With more than 80 photographs and maps, Young illustrates the competitive spirit of Chicago, where some modes of transportation flourish at the expense of others.
