Introducing Dispatch 15, Then and Now on the Chicago Surface System
All of us who have an interest in and appreciation of transportation, transit and railroads have a fondness for Chicago. Chicago's variety of modes and carriers, as well as the sheer size of the operations, offers something of interest to everyone. Through 170 photographs and accompanying narrative, Dispatch 15 covers over a century of Chicago's surface transit systems (including streetcar, motor bus, trolley bus, work equipment and facilities coverage). Dispatch 15 continues the tour and descriptions of Chicago's neighborhoods that have been included in Shore Line's four prior CSL Dispatches. Chicago's 77 neighborhoods with their individual cultural and ethnic backgrounds have always made and continue to make Chicago a very vibrant city. |
