Book Description
After almost a quarter of a century, Monon: The Hoosier Line is back in print in a revised second edition featuring an enlarged Epilogue, additional photographs, and a new Afterword. Monon celebrates the history of this magnificent railroad, from its inception in 1847 as the New Albany & Salem Rail Road and then the Louisville, New Albany & Chicago, to its merger in 1970 with the L&N and beyond, with an informative text, 258 black and white illustrations, and a special color insert. A great tribute to "Indiana's Own" railroad.

MONON: The Hoosier Line
Rating  (5)
Date: 2008-04-05
If you are a fan of the old Monon line or are a model railroader and/or railroad enthusiast, I highly recommend this book. MONON: The Hoosier Line, was written by Gary W. & Stephen F Dolzall. They grew up near the Monon line in Southern Indiana and their love & devotion they developed for this railroad growing up as young brothers brought them together to write this fantastic book. From it's early beginnings in 1847 to the completion of the L&N merger in 1971 is all here including maps, pictures, equipment rosters and passenger car diagrams and much more! I grew up in Michigan City in Indiana during the 60's and is a place that Monon well served. This book bought back great memories of "The Hoosier Line" and has educated me a lot about the railroad that I didn't know about during that time when I was growing up there. From the Red & Gray passenger trains to the Black & Gold freight trains.......This was Indiana's own railroad and a mighty fine one at that too!
