It’s only because of the intervention of Sam Insull into the electric railway business that the Chicago lines lasted into the 1950s and beyond when others like them embracing similar technology have been gone 60-70 years. The heyday of the electric interurban had already passed when Insull acquired the first of his Chicago interurban railroads in 1916. This book takes the reader back to those years when the remains of the Insull empire – CA&E, CNS&M and CSS&SB- struggled to survive. Only one made it.
