Sources Online

I have been working with the Minnesota Streetcar Museum to get much of their work available online. Several books and pamphlets are online (including "The Electric Railways of Minnesota" and "The 1940s" which are already listed as sources here but are not linked as they were not online previously) as well as in-depth articles from their quarterly history publication "Twin City Lines" (and formerly the Minnegazette). All of these are now published (with a 2 year delay) to the MSM Internet Archive page and an index to them is available on the MSM website. Most/all of this content has been made available with a CC license which should be compatible with Wikipedia for ease of integrating photos and text.

Twin City Rapid Transit Pictorial 30th Anniversary Edition: 1954-1984 by Alan R. Lind, published by Transport History Press pg 79 can be used for a source for the 91 to Mexico City, 30 to Newark, and 20 to Shaker Heights, with slightly more detail. Company takeover and decline, second paragraph, second sentence, and Streetcar preservation, first paragraph, can use this.

Twin Cities by Trolley, The Streetcar Era in Minneapolis and St. Paul by John W. Diers & Aaron Isaacs, published by University of Minnesota Press ISBN-13:978-0-8166-4358-5, can be used as a source. Chapter 1-4 relate to the history. Epilogue: Conspiracy Theories also relates history. A'nother'un (talk) 03:46, 4 September 2012 (UTC)Reply
