Since 1938 CERA has published bulletins dealing with the history and technology of electric railways. For the last ten years these publications have taken the form of yearbooks, with each issue reviewing the electric lines of a particular state or part of state or covering a large and especially interesting system.
CERA this year gladly returns to the North Shore Line as a publication subject. We have always felt a keen interest in this railway, not only because it is close at hand but because its attitude has kept it in the forefront of modern practice among electric railways. Yet it has retained some of the old-time flavor which marked its early days.
It was partly this diversity, however, which presented a problem to the publications staff in handling the subject. The differing character of the railway at different times during its history has had the effect of multiplying the amount of available material far beyond the capacity of one annual volume.
Therefore, the decision was made to devote two years' research to North Shore Line. Several possibilities in dividing the work between two volumes were studied, and the most workable one seemed to be chronological. As a result, this volume covers the development of the line up to 1926-approximately the halfway mark in the railway's history. A complete roster of rolling stock is included, together with the details of equipment constructed before 1926.
The second half of the story will appear in 1963 as CERA Bulletin 107 and will cover happenings on North Shore Line after 1926. That volume will include comprehensive track maps and details on rolling stock constructed or extensively rebuilt after 1926.
These bulletins are technical, educational references prepared as historical projects by members of the Central Electric Railfans'Association, working without salary in the interests of the subject as a hobby.
