Description

The South Shore Line's purpose in making this material available stems from the new owner's belief that an excellent company is one that respects its heritage and its people. Thus, they want to make these documents available in a convenient manner to interested parties. CERA's interest is to make significant documents of electric railway history available in their original form. Thus readers of today and tomarrow can capture the spirit of the times as it existed many years ago and approach being able to do original research at their convenience. The concept of this book is new both to the South Shore and to CERA. They jointly feel that this is a signifcant step in preserving the heritage of the South Shore Line and its people.
CERA has added seventy photographs of the period to this book. George Krambles, as he has graciously done for years, made his collection available. Included in George's photographs were original prints made in the 1930s which he has carefully preserved. Ed Hedstrom, a career South Shore employee, played a vital role in this project. Not only did Ed loan photographs to copy but he shared recollections which are incorporated in the text and captions. Malcolm D. McCarter responded rapidly to requests for prints from his collection and willingly gave CERA permission to use them.
