Review by Doug Loudenback, www.dougdawg.blogspot.com

Part of national “trolleys” series, this book covers trolleys and interurbans throughout Oklahoma, but its coverage of Oklahoma City, its trolleys and interurbans to El Reno, Guthrie, and Norman occupies 49 pages of the book. A very good review of the development of local rail in Oklahoma City and the interurbans is presented as are many excellent images and advertisements. I would have liked a bit more detail on some of the images shown, but that’s just me. The book is nicely indexed. It is also hard to find and pricey when you do.
