musictom SUBS 5th Nov 2021		The cover with the color must be a very later publishing as none of the original pages had any color. Seems to cover the same material as 887252.

musictom SUBS 15th Nov 2015		Occasionally during this period the company referred to their product as a Magazine. But in the truest sense they were books.

As a "bonus" we have prepared a 16-page view of what is left of the former Red Car Empire at the beginning of 1976. Contrast the 1914 system (map on page 98) to the 1976 trackage (map on page 99). The original 10 parts of Special 16, Lines of Pacific Electric, were published over a number of years. We wish to recognize the original persons who participated. Editor & Publisher; - Ira L. Swett; Associate Editors; - Raymond E. Younghans; - Lazear Israel; Editorial Assistant; - Jack Whitmeyer; Business Manager; - Carl Blaubach; Cartographer; - Raymond A.

WPLives 25th Jul 2021		The First 100 Specials Ira L. Swett, the founder of what became Interurban Press, began his traction publishing career in April 1943 with the first issue of Interurbans News-Letter. (I.N.L.) It was his practice to issue Special numbers in advance of publishing dates. In a few cases, numbers were later reassigned or not used at all. I.N.L., The Early Interurban News-Letters, published as X-3 by Interurbans Publications in 1978, contains considerable detail on the early efforts by Swett and reprints many of the early News-Letters.
