These sleek, high-speed trains revolutionized rail travel in the early 20th century, symbolizing progress, innovation, and the boundless optimism of a nation on the move. From the Zephyr's record-breaking run to the Super Chief's journey across America, streamliners left an indelible mark on the nation's psyche. They were the trains that carried presidents, movie stars, and everyday Americans across the country, connecting cities and towns, and weaving the fabric of a nation together. But with the rise of air travel in the 1950s, the era of the streamliner began to wane. One by one, these iconic trains were retired, replaced by faster, more efficient jets.

A new generation of railfans is rediscovering the beauty and romance of these classic trains. Restored streamliners are now operating on tourist railroads across the country, offering passengers a glimpse into a bygone era of rail travel. This book is a comprehensive exploration of the streamliner phenomenon. It delves into the history of streamliners, their impact on American culture, and their enduring legacy. Lavishly illustrated with stunning photography, the book features some of the most iconic streamliners of all time, including the Zephyr, the Hiawatha, the Super Chief, and the California Zephyr.

Once labeled the “lot that laugher built,” the Hal Roach Studios launched the comedic careers of such screen icons as Harold Lloyd, Our Gang, and Laurel and Hardy. With this stable of stars, the Roach enterprise operated for forty-six years on the fringes of the Hollywood studio system during a golden age of cinema and gained notoriety as a producer of short comedies, independent features, and weekly television series. Many of its productions are better remembered today than those by its larger contemporaries. In A History of the Hal Roach Studios, Richard Lewis Ward meticulously follows the timeline of the company’s existence from its humble inception in 1914 to its close in 1960 and, through both its obscure and famous productions, traces its resilience to larger trends in the entertainment business. In the first few decades of the twentieth century, the motion picture industry was controlled by an elite handful of powerful firms that allowed very little room for new competition outside of their established cartel. The few independents that garnered some measure of success despite their outsider status usually did so by specializing in underserved or ignored niche markets. Here, Ward chronicles how the Roach Studios, at the mercy of exclusive distribution practices, managed to repeatedly redefine itself in order to survive for nearly a half-century in a cutthroat environment. Hal Roach’s tactic was to nurture talent rather than exhaust it, and his star players spent the prime of their careers shooting productions on his lot. Even during periods of decline or misdirection, the Roach Studios turned out genuinely original material, such as the screwball classic Topper (1937), the brutally frank Of Mice and Men (1940), and the silent experiment One Million B.C. (1940). Ward’s exploration yields insight into the production and marketing strategies of an organization on the periphery of the theatrical film industry and calls attention to the interconnected nature of the studio system during the classic era. The volume also looks to the early days of television when the prolific Roach Studios embraced the new medium to become, for a time, the premier telefilm producer. Aided by a comprehensive filmography and twenty-seven illustrations, A History of the Hal Roach Studios recounts an overlooked chapter in American cinema, not only detailing the business operations of Roach’s productions but also exposing the intricate workings of Hollywood’s rivalrous moviemaking establishment.
