Publisher's Note
In his remarkable new collection of picture postcards, Grant...includes striking images of depots, tunnels, steam rolling stock, and interurban cars along with Grant's authoritative text and information-packed captions....Historians of Midwestern railroading have generally focused on railroad company histories while ignoring the regional view. Fortunately for railway historians and enthusiasts, coincidental 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 100 representative picture postcards to visualize the principal themes and characteristics that gave this dynamic industry its distinctive regional features.
