Milton S. Hershey's chocolate factory in the cornfields required a rail system to bring chocolate factory workers and fresh milk from dairy farms to the Hershey factory. The Hershey Transit Company existed for years after the trolley industry declined in the United States. Hershey transit documents one of the best-known and well-kept streetcar systems that operated from 1904 to 1946. The book consists of historical images depicting the transit system's connections from Hershey, Pennsylvania, to neighboring communities in Campbelltown, Elizabethown, Hummelstown, Lebanon, and Palmyra.
In the nineteenth century, railways were viewed as a symbol of progress and confidence in technological modernity. In the twenty-first century, the frustrations of gridlocked traffic, record-high gas prices, and the looming fears of climate change have transformed the railway system once again into a symbol of hope that provides the possibility of an environmentally sustainable future. In Railway, George Revill examines the technology and politics of railway history, as well as related themes such as mobility, identity, design, marketing, and sustainability. In both practical and symbolic senses the cultural meanings of railways continue to play a role in how people organize and respond to modern environments, social problems, and technologies. Revill draws from art, literature, music, and film to illustrate how the railway carries meaning for all of us—creating connections and separations, detachment and involvement—from the routine commuter to the enthusiast. As Revill shows, railways inform our everyday language—from fast-track to side-track to going off the rails—and continue to fascinate us today. In this wide-ranging and well-illustrated look at railways across the globe, Revill ultimately reveals how central they are to our understanding of modern everyday life.
