Monon: The Hoosier Line - By Gary W. and Stephen F. Dolzall
After almost a quarter of a century, this book is back in print! This
revised second edition features an updated epilogue, additional photographs,
and a new afterward by Frank Van Bree, president of the Monon Railroad
Historical-Technical Society, Inc. This 8 1/2 x 11" hardcover is 208 pages,
including black and white and color photos. Many railroads served the state,
but the Monon was Indiana's own. The self-proclaimed "Hoosier Line"
celebrated its heritage by naming its flagship passenger train The Hoosier,
featuring Indiana cooking in the dining cars and offering homespun service.
Monon explores the history of this magnificent railroad, from its inception in
1847 as the New Albany & Salem Rail Road, then as the Louisville, New
Albany & Chicago, to its merger in 1970 with the L&N, and beyond.
