The author provides describes trolley technology, life aboard the cars, the expansion across the country until there were 26,000 miles of street railway, and how streetcars -- by allowing people to live in the suburbs -- helped to create the modern city. Illustrated throughout with hundreds of black and white photos. Includes list of principle car builders and suppliers, systems still in existence, and trolley museums. With bibliography. 436 pages with detailed index.
