2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. nice photosBy roskoI have been reading books on the LSE since I was a teen discovered the remains of the Huntington Park trestle in the park woods; like some ancient ruin. Oh; thats from the interurban said my mom; who rode it at least once as a kid (when her dads car broke down in the country and they had to get home to Cleveland). The author has done a great job on finding interesting old photos of the line and the people and towns of the time. I disagree with their analysis of the finances and history of the LSE- for a more in depth evaluation of the lines history; the Indiana Univeristy press book is much better. Or one of the late Harry Chistiansens books. But this is still an enjoyable book; economically priced. Id get it again!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
