The Toledo, Port Clinton and Lakeside Railway - E-book - ePub

At the dawn of the twentieth century, before good roads were common and everyone owned an automobile, Northwestern Ohio was home of the Toledo, Port Clinton and Lakeside Railway. The TPC&L began operating in 1905 and didn't entirely close down until 1958, decades after other railways like it were gone. This fascinating book, first published in 1964, contains the complete story of the line as told by noted transportation authority George W.
Hilton, including construction of the railway in the days of "interurban fever, " details about the boats that carried passengers from Marblehead to Cedar Point and Sandusky, the line's varied rolling stock, accidents, and more. This e-book version contains all of the text and graphics of the original printed volume.
