At long last, Elmer Sulzer's definitive work on abandoned railroads of Indiana has been reprinted. While not updated, and much of the original errors and ommisions still remain, this book still remains as THE reference for anyone interested in railroads that disappeared in the Hoosier State from the beginning to 1970. Full of photos many never before seen and maps to show you the way, I suggest you buy this book while it is still available...the originals fetch $200-$300...if you can find one. If this is your interest area, don't miss out!

This is a high-quality reprint of a scarce title which has been out-of-print for years. Sulzer's writing style can be a little disjointed at times, but there's a wealth of good information in this book. It sits on my shelf right beside Simons and Parker's book, Railroads of Indiana; they complement each other very well.

Material about the late 1800's and turn of the century railroading as well as early 1900's is difficult if not impossible to come by. Sulzer provides rare and extremely useful photos and commentary about Indiana RRs. A must for modelers of the turn-of-the-century.

Great book and hard to find as it has been out of print for several years! I got this book at a bargain price and it was a barely used book, worth much more than the seller was asking. I was thrilled to find the book and to be able to purchase it as I am a history buff.
