Bulletin 126, p
ublished by Central Electric Railfans' Association 1988 (First Edition)
Great volume on electric rail transportation from 1939 to the 1960s.  Fantastic vintage color photographs.
"As any collector of vintage rail transit books know, color photography is something that's not always made available in publications of this subject. What "A Rainbow of Traction" gives you is nearly 144 pages of sheer color traction goodness in all different flavors and varieties. There's streetcars, interurbans, subway and elevated and freight motors. Each color photo is accompanied by a detailed description of the system it ran on and the specific stats of the car in the photo (length, weight, builder, year built, motors, etc.).
The book moves across the country from East to West, and in addition to the U.S., it includes some photos from Canada, Mexico and one from Cuba. Many images of rare equipment is seen, which makes the book all the more desirable."
Hardcover, 144 pages, 11.5 x 9".
