Celebrate the bygone era of trolleys with "When Trolleys Ruled the Earth," an illustrated book offering a detailed exploration of classic 20th-century antique trolleys. With over 90 captivating images, the book showcases the vibrant history of these colorful and functional vehicles that once dominated urban public transportation.
The book features high-quality, ultra-high-resolution scans from the CGR Restoration Workshop archives. Spanning the latter half of the 20th century, it presents pristine digitally restored scans of negatives from the first half of the century, portraying a diverse array of trolleys, streetcars, cable cars, and more.

Authoritatively introduced by World's Fair historian and writer, Mark Bussler, the book pays homage to the integral role trolleys played in American cities for decades. It delves into their sudden disappearance, with trolley lines vanishing and rails being paved over. Beyond celebrating their design, the book aims to preserve the legacy and historical significance of these mass transit pioneers.
