The Trolley System in Omaha & Council Bluffs Through the Years

The trolley system in Omaha and Council Bluffs has a long and fascinating history. From their early horse-pulled days to the electric streetcars of the early 20th century, these streetcars played a vital role in the development and growth of the Twin Cities.

In this book, local historian Pasquale De Marco tells the story of the Omaha and Council Bluffs streetcar system, from its inception to its eventual shutdown. Along the way, he weaves together the strands of Omaha and Council Bluffs’s history, technology, and culture to create a vivid and detailed picture of a bygone era.

The book is divided into three parts:
* **Part One:** The early years of the horse-drawn streetcars.
* **Part Two:** The electrification of the streetcar system and its impact on the cities of Omaha and Council Bluffs.
* **Part Three:** The rise of the automobile and the eventual shutdown of the streetcar system.

With over 200 vintage black-and-white photos and maps, this book brings the story of the Omaha and Council Bluffs streetcar system to life. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of these two cities, or in the history of streetcar systems in the United States.
