Streetcars - USA: books - history and types

Illustrated books on the history, types and technology of trams in the United States.

The Motorman and His Duties - The classic handbook for electric trolley, streetcar and interurban railway motormen

Originally printed in 1898 and then periodically revised, "The Motorman...and His Duties" served as the definitive training text for a generation of streetcar operators. A must-have for the trolley or train enthusiast, it is also an important source of information for museum staff and docents: in fact it's currently in use as a training book in at least two historic trolley museums. Lavishly illustrated with numerous photos and black and white line drawings, this affordable reprint contains all of the original text.
