Tri-State Traction is over 230 pages filled with dozens of fascinating stories about the interurban trolley lines of southwestern Missouri, southeastern Kansas and northeastern Oklahoma - the men who built them and the people who rode them through the Tri-State Mining area 100 years ago. Illustrated with over 200 photographs, plus over two-dozen specially created maps and other artwork, this book is sure to please anyone interested about life in the Tri-State region a century ago. For the explorer, 25 detailed route maps and directions to remnants that still exist. For the traction fan, technical details about the cars, structures and rights of ways; plus a comprehensive roster of rolling stock. For the historian and researcher, over 400 citations in the bibliography. For everyone, a nostalgic trip back to an era when lead, zinc and coal mining were the engines that powered the economy of the Tri-State region, and how the interurban lines transported the workers who stoked the engines.
