That durability essentially put the company out of business, and it vanished from the scene as quickly as it had appeared, leaving little behind except its sturdy railway cars. The story of this highly regarded company spans just 16 years, from Niles's incorporation in 1901 to the abandonment of railway car production and sale of the property to a firm that would briefly build engine parts during World War I. Including unpublished photographs and rosters of railway cars produced by the company and still in existence in railroad museums, <i>The Electric Pullman </i>will appeal to railroad enthusiasts everywhere.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>Electric Pullman is required reading for anyone interested in interurban history.
