The battle between St. Louis and Chicago to be the Midwest's leading city long predates the one between the Cardinals and the Cubs. Chicago won the fight to be considered part of the nation's first transcontinental railroad, and the Gateway City's delay in building a railroad bridge over the Mississippi River kept St. Louis in second place railroad service in the Midwest. But while Chicago had the Pullman Car Company, St. Louis featured more of the most important manufacturers in the rail industry, including American Car & Foundry and the St. Louis Car Company. St. Louis was dotted with historic rail structures ranging from its grand Union Station to depots built just after the Civil War, and a number of its suburbs were born of rail lines serving the area, with streets that still wear the names of the railroads they paralleled. In Trains and Trolleys of St. Louis, you have a ticket to hop aboard and travel across nearly two centuries through what the city built, operated, and preserved for the railroad. Hear the stories of the great-grandfathers who worked the rails, or take a walk down memory lane and a streetcar ride down to Gaslight Square. Local author and locomotive enthusiast Molly Butterworth carefully catalogues the history and significance of St. Louis' connection to its railroad days. Through the years, many of the railroad stations and streetcar stops have gone by the wayside, but their stories have lived on. Read about the ones you can still go enjoy, included in the many wonderful secrets shared among the pages of Trains and Trolleys of St. Louis.

Drive down the streets of St. Louis City, and you can almost feel the tugs of what was dreamed within a region that hung many of its hopes on building the great American automobile."We will be bigger than Detroit when it comes to building automobiles." Who could dispute that widely-held belief when the best automotive engineering, the first American sports car, vehicles that helped win wars, and inventions that redefined automobiles were born here in the Gateway City? They Will Run provides a new interpretation of the automotive history that pops up around every corner in St. Louis. From some of the wisest and most committed early independent builders to assembly plants for each of the Big Three, the Gateway City provided not only support for early European emigrant travelers in the 18th and 19th centuries but also for the road travelers of the 20th century and beyond.Open these pages to experience the road behind the wheel of a vehicle built here in St. Louis. Meet the men who took a pencil to paper or a wheel to the road or a hot air balloon to the skies and impacted the great American automobile. Learn about or be reminded of the ways St. Louis was and is at the center of the United States beyond simple geography.With this second edition, local authors and car enthusiasts Tom Eyssell and Molly Butterworth take you through the pages of history and further down that road with sites and maps to open the gates to a new way of experiencing firsthand the history of the automobile in St. Louis.

Though the city of St. Louis is located on the Missouri side of the Mississippi River, for the railroads, the St. Louis Gateway extends into Illinois, north and south along both sides of the river. Two factors conspired against St. Louis's aspiration to become the preeminent rail center of the 19th-century American Midwest: there was no bridge across the Mississippi, and Missouri's loyalty to the Union during the Civil War was suspect. Chicago beat out St. Louis to attain the region's top railroad billing. Fast forward to the 1970s, when the Gateway Arch, dedicated in 1968, redefined the St. Louis riverfront and when the St. Louis Union Station closed to rail service. The 1970s was a decade of railroad debuts--Burlington Northern, Illinois Central Gulf, Family Lines--and a decade of railroad demises--Rock Island and Frisco. It signaled the end of a century of rail domination of the American transportation scene.
