Fascinating story of the longest trip by electric street railway: a charter from Utica, NY through Buffalo, Cleveland, Detroit, Fort Wayne, Indianapolis, Dayton and Columbus, covering about 2,000 miles before returning home. The trip by 21 businessmen (headed by C. Loomis Allen) traversed 28 different companies plus numerous streetcar lines in 6 different states and remains the longest continuous trip by electric railway. This detailed history covers the planning, preparations, daily activities and adventures along the way. Illustrated throughout with black and white photos. With maps and bibliography. 96 pages.
