Originally printed in 1898 and then periodically revised, The Motorman...and His Duties served as the definitive training text for a generation of streetcar operators. A musthave for the trolley or train enthusiast, it is also an important source of information for museum staff and docents. Lavishly illustrated with numerous photos and black and white line drawings, this affordable reprint contains all of the original text. Includes chapters on trolley car types and equipment, troubleshooting, brakes, controllers, electricity and principles, electric traction, multicar control and has a convenient glossary in the back. If youve ever operated a trolley car, or just had an electric train set, this is a terrific book for your shelf!

This handbook is great for understanding the nuances of electric streetcars. However, I was disappointed with the shipping time. It took longer than expected to arrive, which was frustrating. The content is solid, though!

A Must-Have for Streetcar Enthusiasts
As a history buff, I love this classic handbook! The insights into the duties of electric trolley motormen are fascinating. It's well-written and packed with information that anyone in the rail industry or even casual fans would appreciate.

Good Content but Lacks Modern Context
I enjoyed the information about interurban motormen, but I wish it had some updates reflecting current technology. It’s interesting, but sometimes feels a bit dated. Still, a decent read for anyone curious about the trolley system!

Disappointed with the Condition
Unfortunately, my copy arrived with some water damage on the cover. The content seems good, but I couldn't get past the damaged condition. I expected better for the price. Hope the next one is in better shape!
