Corry Columbus Trolley One Man's Labor Of Love
Kenneth Springirth and his wife Virginia have published Grape Belt Trolleys, a study of Northwest Pennsylvania trolley history. The couple, longtime Erie collectors, document the Corry and Columbus Street Railway with details on its charter, construction start in 1906, car barn, rolling stock, and eventual closure in 1923 amid snow and bus competition.
