Limiteds, Locals, and Expresses in Indiana, 1838-1971 brings to life the countless locals, accommodation trains, and secondary expresses that Hoosiers patronized during the Golden Age of the passenger train. Craig Sanders gives us a comprehensive history of intercity passenger service in Indiana, from the time railroads began to develop in the state in the mid-19th century through May 1, 1971, when Amtrak began operations. Each chapter summarizes the history and development of one railroad, discusses the factors that shaped that railroad's passenger service-such as prolonged financial difficulties, competition, and the influence of a strong leader-and concludes with a detailed account of its passenger operations in Indiana. Sixteen maps, 87 photographs, and other evocative illustrations supplement Sanders's text.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51699686474016,"sku":"NEW0253342163","price":42.22,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71zuuqh2w4L.jpg?v=1779385678","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/limiteds-locals-and-expresses-in-indiana-1838-1971-railroads-past-and-present-0253342163","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
