Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. Beginning in New York, traversing Atlantic City, and extending throughout the nation, this book explores the connections between modernity and electric street railway practice, using the International Electric Railway Congress of 1924 as a seminal event. The author recounts the rise of motorized vehicles and traces the growing pains of the electric railway industry as it faced dwindling ridership. The text examines the response of electric railway companies, including efforts to increase speed and efficiency, redesign cars, and implement sophisticated urban planning. The author concludes that these efforts were largely futile, effectively marking the beginning of the decline of the electric railway.
