In this fascinating book, CERA documents the early days of the Chicago South Shore and South Bend Railroad, including the history of how this railroad won the Charles A. Coffin Medal in 1928 "For distinguished contribution to the development of electric transporation for the convenience of the public and the benefit of the industry." The story relies on two important original sources: the Cost of Reproduction of the Lake Shore, and the 1928 Coffin Award Submittal. The editor has expanded on the information found in these key source books by including seventy photographs - original prints from the 1930s - shared by a generous collector, George Krambles.
