Outside Chicago
Chicago's 3 Interurbans
90 Years of Chicago Traction
Noted railroad historians Bill Warrick and Walter Keevil have assembled an amazing assortment of rare color and black & white footage to document electric railroading operations in and around the Chicago area from the 1990s all the way back to 1900. Originally released by Interurban Press as three separate VHS videos known as the Midwest Traction Classics, this series is now available for your enjoyment on one combo DVD! Included on this disc are:
Outside Chicago; Midwest Electric Lines I. The lines outside Chicago are brought back to life in this fascinating documentary. The Indiana Railroad; the Illinois Terminal; the Crandic; and the Waterloo, Cedar Falls & Northern are just a few of the interurbans covered here. Plus, streetcars in Indianapolis, St. Louis, and the Twin Cities are shown as well! 30 minutes, color footage, produced in 1987, formerly titled Midwest Traction Classics.
