 Horse Trails to Regional Rails: The Story of Public Transit in Greater Cleveland
|
| By : James A. Toman, Blaine S. Hays |
From the opening the Ohio and Erie Canal to the opening of the new waterfront rapid transit, Toman and Hays trace the ever-changing contours of a metropolitan area and the modes of transportation available to its public. The scope of the book is comprehensive - canal, river, lake, and air transport - but the focus is on Cleveland's streetcars, interurbans, trackless trolleys, buses, and rapid transit trains.

Pueblo's Steel Town Trolleys
|
| By : Morris Cafky and John A. Haney |
In Pueblo's Steel Town Trolleys, Morris Cafky and John Haney skillfully trace the fascinating story from beginning to end. At first there were horse cars; later many of the electric trolleys were built by the Woeber Carriage Company of Denver. In the final years, ex-Colorado Springs Birney cars dominated the fleet. By 1940, Pueblo was one of the only cities where not a single motor bus operated in transit service. Included are the stories of the terrible 1921 flood, the heavy traffic to the annual Colorado State Fair, first hand recollections of riders and employees, detailed descriptions of routes and track, and equipment rosters. There are 144 pages filled with photos, including rare color views. Also two large maps of the system are included.
