Laurel Line - An Anthracite Region Railway by James N.J. Henwood and John G. Muncie
-published by Tribute Books-214pp.
New Second Edition with improved photo reproduction.
Based on the survival of the Laurel Line's corporate records, authors Henwood and Muncie make the most out of this
historical treasure. In the book, the railway emerges in human terms of strife, struggle, victory and defeat. The
reader learns not only what happened, but why, and who made it happen. All railroads and interurban railways are
interesting if properly researched - the Laurel Line as portrayed in this work is profoundly interesting. Many classic
photographs from Edward S. Miller and other rail photographers illustrate the story. Reproductions of maps, car plans and
other memorabilia are also presented.

History of the J. G. Brill Company by Debra Brill-published by Indiana
University Press-272pp., 289 b&w photos & line drawings
A fascinating variety of open, closed,
convertible, and semi-convertible cars,
propelled by horse, steam, cable, and
electricity, parade through the pages of this
book. These old cars have a hold on the
affections of many, and hundreds of them have
been preserved in museums throughout the
world. From a small horsecar-building firm established in 1868,
the J. G. Brill Company grew to be a
world leader in a rapidly evolving and growing industry
that at the time of the First World War
was the fifth largest in the United States.
Besides its successful line of trolleys and other electric cars,
Brill built horsecars, cable cars,
narrow-gauge and gas-propelled cars for railroads,
and even buses and trolley buses. The Brill policy
was to build whatever the customer wanted.
With no job considered too small or too peculiar, some
delightfully wacky cars were produced.
Appendix A lists
many of the world's trolley museums and tourist
trolley lines where Brill cars can be found, and
gives a list of all cars built by the firm. Appendix
B lists the trucks and other specialties of the
Brill Company. Debra Brill is a
great-great-great-granddaughter of John
George Brill, the founder of the J. G. Brill
Company. Curiosity regarding the family business and an
interest in historical writing prompted her to
embark on a mission to unearth as much
information as possible about the Brill
Company and record the facts for posterity.
Through a better understanding of
Brill Company management and exposure to
previously unpublished office documents
concerning the later years of the company, the
reader will also gain new insights into the
Brill/ERPCC/Brilliner situation.
