Entering an already crowded and established industry, the Niles Car
& Manufacturing Company in Ohio began business with surprising
success, producing well over 1,000 electric and steam railway
cars-cars so durable they rarely needed to be replaced. That
durability essentially put the company out of business, and it
vanished from the scene as quickly as it had appeared, leaving
little behind except its sturdy railway cars. The story of this
highly regarded company spans just 16 years, from Niles's
incorporation in 1901 to the abandonment of railway car production
and sale of the property to a firm that would briefly build engine
parts during World War I. Including unpublished photographs and
rosters of railway cars produced by the company and still in
existence in railroad museums, The Electric Pullman will appeal to
railroad enthusiasts everywhere. -- Indiana University Press
