North Shore Line: Interurban Freight – Edward M. DeRouin (Midwestern Rail Series #2)
Offered here is North Shore Line: Interurban Freight by Edward M. DeRouin, part of the Midwestern Rail Series (Number Two). This softcover volume provides a detailed history of freight operations on the famed Chicago North Shore & Milwaukee Railroad, one of America’s most beloved interurban lines.
While many know the North Shore Line for its fast passenger service and the legendary Electroliners, this book highlights the vital freight operations that kept the line competitive and profitable. With photographs, documents, and engaging text, the author traces the development and decline of interurban freight service in the Midwest.
Highlights include:
Extensive coverage of freight operations on the North Shore Line
Historic images of freight motors, box motors, and cabooses in service
Details on less-than-carload freight traffic and interline connections
Reproductions of period advertisements, maps, and timetables
