Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This unique collection, the most extensive of its kind, comprises 191 views--16 in full color--of trolleys and streetcars on American picture postcards. Spanning a total of 162 different localities in all 50 states except Alaska, plus the District of Columbia and San Juan, Puerto Rico, the volume pictures a wide range of cars and lines: primitive systems on just one street and sophisticated interurbans; horse-drawn, battery-powered, steam, gas, and electric vehicles; and such types as California, Vanderpoele, Barber, and "hobble-skirt" cars. Among the most impressive cars are: the excursion trolley Berkshire Hills, probably the finest parlor car ever made (Pittsfield, Mass.); the most beautiful double-decker ever to run in America (Coronado, Cal.); one of the most picturesque interurbans in the West, seen at its terminal in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho; and New York City's famous double-decker, the "Broadway Battleship." Full captions for all the postcards indicate locality and state, name of trolley company represented and varied information including the trackage, type of car shown, printer of postcard, etc. The cards are conveniently arranged, alphabetically by state and, within each state, alphabetically by the locality actually depicted on the card"--From back cover.

Download or read book Railroad Postcards in the Age of Steam written by H. Roger Grant and published by University of Iowa Press. This book was released on 1994 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Out of the tradition of those long-gone days of great, heaving steam locomotives and endless rail lines comes this remarkable selection of vintage cards, a treasure trove selected from John Vander Maas' consummate collection at the University of Iowa Libraries. This lavish volume is the first general book-length work devoted to the once-ubiquitous railroad picture postcard. It comprises an introductory essay and an album of cards. The former fully examines the nature of the postcard craze, which reached its zenith about 1910, and discusses why images of American railroads played such an important part in the card phenomenon. The album divides an engaging assortment of more than 150 representative views into five sections: "Trains and Rolling Stock," "Depots and Railway Structures," "The Railroad Corridor," "People and Railroads," and "The Lighter Side of Railroading." Railroad historians, train enthusiasts, postcard collectors, and all other readers will find much to interest them in this selection of images. Not only are the cards themselves visually striking, but they convey a sense of how important railroads once were to the nation's citizenry. The sight of steaming locomotives and the hustle and bustle associated with "train time" caused hearts to quicken. These feelings made views of railroad scenes popular with buyers of postcards and now with latter-day railroad fans and card collectors.

Download or read book Railroads in the Heartland written by H. Roger Grant and published by University of Iowa Press. This book was released on 1997 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historians of midwestern railroading during the early part of the twentieth century have generally focused on the production of railroad company histories while ignoring the regional view. Fortunately for railway historians and buffs, coincidentally with the zenith of the Railway Age, the national fad for producing and mailing postcards was at its height. Millions of cards, including "real-photo" images, were produced between 1905 and 1915. Roger Grant has selected more than a hundred representative picture postcards to visualize the principal themes and characteristics that gave this dynamic industry its distinctive regional features. By the turn of the century, the railroad map of the Midwest was unequaled. Anyone who examined it carefully sensed that this was the vital center of America's massive network of steel rails. Depots erected in the western prairie environment were spartan, with only minor decoration, but those in the Midwest usually mirrored more ornate New England styles. These features are often reflected in the images in this heavily illustrated book, which depicts the spare but strong pioneering spirit of the enterprise.

Download or read book Railroad Postcards of Yellowstone written by Frank Ferris and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2015 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fastest way to travel long distances in the beginning of the 20th century was by railroad. Railroad companies competed to attract business and vacationing travellers by advertising in brochures and issuing postcards. The postcards included railroad logos and descriptions of Western adventures that travellers would experience by booking with a particular rail line. The Northern Pacific Railroad and Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railroad have provided some of the most captivating images of the unique Yellowstone National Park (YNP) hydrologic, geologic, and geothermal features. The Union Pacific Railroad built the full-scale Old Faithful Lodge at the Panama-Pacific International Exposition of 1915; the National Park Service data show the YNP attendance more than doubled in that year. Both the Union Pacific Railroad and Burlington Route provided high-quality postcards to promote their routes to visit YNP. The Burlington Route and Northern Pacific Railroad included American Indian-related postcards for diversity.
