The passenger train has long held a special place in the imagination of Americans, and Indiana was once a bustling passenger train crossroads. This work brings to life the countless locals, accommodation trains and secondary expresses that Hoosiers patronized during the Golden Age of the passenger train. Craig Sanders gives us a comprehensive history of intercity passenger service in Indiana, from the time railroads began to develop in the state in the mid-19th century through May 1, 1971, when Amtrak began operations. Each chapter summarizes the history and development of one railroad, discusses the factors that shaped that railroad's passenger service such as prolonged financial difficulties, competition, and the influence of a strong leader and concludes with a detailed account of its passenger operations in Indiana.
