Title: "THE" outstanding book on the electric interurban railways
Product review: George Hilton and John Due produced what has become the "bible" for any person seriously interested in the history of electric railways. The first half of the book provides general history and information about the electric railway industry which flourished during the first half of the 20th Century. Also included is the relationship many of these companies had with the electric power industry. It also touches on the utility industry holding companies which owned many of the interurban lines. The second half of the book contains (listed by state) all of the electric interurban railways in the United States and Canada. Capsule histories are given for each company that operated intercity electric railways. Although this book was originally published in 1960 it has stood the test of time and is a "must have" for any serious railway scholar
