Brooklyn Manhattan Transit - A History as Seen Through the Company's Maps, Guides and Other Documents: 1923-1939 (Paperback)

A history of the Brooklyn Manhattan Transit Corporation from 1923-1939 as seen through original source documents such as maps, guides and brochures. Includes full color images of every map and service guide issued by the company as well as brochures for all of the experimental cars in its roster. Finally, it includes a map of the BMT trolley and bus routes as well as the service guide the BMT issued for its bus services. The section on trolleys also includes excerpts from the BMT Monthly describing the PCC car. A must-have for anyone interested in the history of the New York Subway System. This book expands upon the magazine entitled "Mapping the BMT" that was sold at the 2010 Mass Transit and Trolley Modeler's Convention. The guides are larger and easier to read, the map collection was completed, and additional material was added.
