1st edition. Original illustrated wrappers. 8vo. 64 pages, 28 cm. In English. Before becoming the modern L subway line, the the Canarsie Line operated as a steam dummy line. It was first owned by the Brooklyn and Rockaway Beach Railroad, chartered December 24, 1863 and opened October 21, 1865, from the Long Island Rail Road in East New York to a pier at Canarsie Landing, very close to the current junction of Rockaway Parkway and the Belt Parkway, where ferries continued on to Rockaway. The line was single-tracked until 1894. The Canarsie Railroad was chartered on May 8, 1906 as a BRT subsidiary (leased to the Brooklyn Union Elevated Railroad) and acquired the line on May 31, 1906 (Wikipedia, 2018).

336 pages including index. "The British Columbia Electric Railway consisted of 111 route miles of streetcar operations in four cities: seven interurban lines totaling 141 route miles; 40 million passengers carried in 1910, and almost 146 million in 1947. For 68 years - 1890 to 1958 - the streetcars and trams dominated and defined urban and interurban transportation in the most populated areas of B.C. Today only traces remain of this fascinating and well-run system that once brought people from all over the world to examine its operation. Includes over 270 fascinating illustrations, plans of rolling stock, tickets, transfers, beautiful route maps, public schedules, employee's timetables, rosters of rolling stock and old Buzzers." - from dust jacket.
