Polo, Illinois, USA: Transportation Trails, Date: 1992. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. 184 pages b/w photos - Old Maud tells the story of modest,hard working people in small Northern Illinois towns who struggled to build and operate a short line railroad, a cultural and economic link to a better life. The book provides a lesson in true life, where despite determination, hard work, and even lives lost, some stories do not have happy endings. For history buffs, the book provides connections to a lost past. You can find the names of key players in the small town cemetery, that literally lies adjacent to the lost railroad's right of way. The book's maps will show you where to find traces of the old line - the raised roadbed and the foundation of the engine house, destroyed in a 1920 tornado, can be found today. You can read about severe winters of 90 years ago, the likes of which have not been seen in the region for decades. A modest book painstakingly and lovingly crafted by its small town author. 1992.
