Based in Paris, Illinois, the McGuire-Cummings Manufacturing Co. built trolley cars, passenger coaches and electric locomotives from the 1890s until 1930. McGuire supplied rolling stock for many of the Midwest’s street railways and interurban lines, including the Peoria Railway, Ohio & Southern, the Illinois Central, Louisville & Eastern, Arkansas Valley, and others. Originally printed in 1911, this catalog shows McGuire’s full line of products. Also included is the Electric Service Supplies Company catalog featuring high-quality parts for trolleys, interurbans, and subway cars. ESSCO’s Keystone Line of products, including a patented trolley pole catcher, were considered industry standard in the 1920s and were often supplied as factory equipment by manufacturers such as J.G. Brill and Co. This book is a wonderful resource for the model railroader, trolley spotter, and rail enthusiast.
