The Electric Pullman

"This book 'rounds out' IU Press's treatment of the car building industry with this account of the Niles Company and I can enthusiastically recommend publication."

~Brian J. Cudahy, Railroad Historian and Adjunct Faculty, University of South Carolina, Beaufort

"Although not one of the major manufacturers in its field, the Niles company produced some notable and well-remembered equipment during the height of the electric interurban railway era. Indeed, among some interurban railway historians, Niles cars are sacred objects. As such, its story deserves to be told and theoretically would be a logical complement to IUP's books on the Brill and Jewett companies. Brough himself is a serious historian who knows his subject and has clearly mined all the sources that seem to exist."

~Herbert H. Harwood, Jr., author of The Railroad that Never Was and The New York, Westchester & Boston Railway

"Electric Pullman is required reading for anyone interested in interurban history. It holds additional appeal for those interested in Ohio history or the junction point between business, society, and technology."

~Lexington Quarterly

"This book is a highly informative three or four evening read."

~The Villager
