| Pueblo is one
of eight cities in Colorado that once had a street railway. For a
full century, the Colorado Fuel & Iron steel dominated the economy
of the city, and this affected the development of the transit system
as well. In Pueblo's Steel Town Trolleys, Morris Cafky and John Haney
skillfully trace the fascinating story from beginning to end. At first
there were horse cars; later many of the electric trolleys were built
by the Woeber Carriage Company of Denver. In the final years, ex-Colorado
Springs Birney cars dominated the fleet. By 1940, Pueblo was one of
the only cities where not a single motor bus operated in transit service.
Included are the stories of the terrible 1921 flood, the heavy traffic
to the annual Colorado State Fair, first hand recollections of riders
and employees, detailed descriptions of routes and track, and equipment
rosters. There are 144 pages filled with photos, including rare color
views. Also two large maps of the system are included.
