Slabtown Streetcars
ISBN: 9781531677855 / Angielski / Twarda / 130 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) No area of Portland, Oregon, played a more important role in street railway history than Northwest Portland and the neighborhood known as Slabtown. In 1872, the city's first streetcars passed close to Slabtown as they headed for a terminus in the North End. Slabtown was also home to the first streetcar manufacturing factory on the West Coast. In fact, until locally built streetcars began to be replaced by trolleys from large national builders in the 1910s, more than half of all rolling stock was manufactured in shops located at opposite ends of Northwest Twenty-third Avenue. All streetcars...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) The Big Bend area had its start with a land grant given by President Lincoln to the Northern Pacific Railway.

The earliest lines were built largely by man and beast with few large...

Staten Island Rapid Transit
ISBN: 9781531674519 / Angielski / Twarda / 130 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Staten Island's first railroad began in 1860 as a passenger line connecting towns along the island's eastern shore, with ferry service from Vanderbilt's Landing to Manhattan. The Staten Island Rapid Transit was a second line, built in 1885. During the 19th century, major eastern trunk railroads competed for the New York freight market. The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad (B&O) was a latecomer but saw opportunity with Staten Island in 1886, buying interest in both railroads. The B&O took control of the island's passenger service and turned it into a thriving commuter railroad with three branches and...

Rockford & Interurban Railway
ISBN: 9781531669904 / Angielski / Twarda / 130 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) With today's America dominated by the automobile, it is difficult to believe that until the 1920s nearly 100 percent of the US population traveled via rail. Conventional passenger-train service spread rapidly by the 1850s, but another form of rail transportation did not emerge until the turn of the 20th century: the interurban. Almost always electric, interurbans linked cities with burghs. Rockford, one of Illinois's three largest urban centers during the 20th century, enjoyed a system appropriately named the Rockford & Interurban, dating from the city's horse-drawn streetcars of the 1880s....

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Railroads and mining in Bingham Canyon have gone hand in hand since the first railroad was constructed in the canyon in late 1873. Bingham Canyon in the early years was a gold and silver mining camp, and the railroads were small operations.

Virginia Creeper in Ashe County
ISBN: 9781531659141 / Angielski / Twarda / 130 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) West Jefferson did not exist until local entrepreneurs saw an opportunity to run the tracks from Whitetop Mountain in Virginia to North Carolina. In 1914, the Virginia Carolina Railroad came to Ashe County. Virgin timber grew in the mountains, luring the Hassenger Lumber Company into the area. Small sawmills and lumbering operations were located "up every holler," so the tracks were expanded into Elkland, known today as Todd. Until 1933, the train ran daily into the county, and communities such as Nella, Tuckerdale, Camrose, Bowie, Lansing, Warrensville, Berlin, and West Jefferson grew up...

Hershey broke ground to construct his new chocolate factory in 1903, many questioned the wisdom of building in the middle of a cornfield. With his factory wedged between the Philadelphia & Reading Railroad tracks and the Berks & Dauphin Turnpike, Hershey set out to create a first-rate street railway system. The Hershey Transit Company existed many years after the trolley industry declined in most areas of the United States.

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Long before Glenn Miller made the world-famous "Chattanooga Choo Choo" an American icon, Chattanooga was already a bustling railroad community.

The solution was Terminal Station, which rivaled most Southern depots in size, expense, and aesthetic beauty. Providing transportation to cities throughout the country, the terminal made its mark as the gateway for rail from the agricultural south to the industrial north.
