Railtown: The Fight for the Los Angeles Metro Rail and the Future of the City Paperback - 2014
by Ethan N. Elkind
From the rear cover
"Finally, a comprehensive history of the rebirth of rail in Los Angeles. Railtown is a lively book grounded in extensive research into the tangled history of rail planning and construction- a subject important to both California and to the United States as a whole." --Zachary M. Schrag, author of The Great Society Subway: A History of the Washington Metro "Railtown is a gripping account of rail transit's re-emergence in America's consummate car-oriented city. Elkind deftly chronicles the political machinations that gave rise to what today is one of America's most expansive and promising urban rail networks. Railtown is a must-read for students of urban politics, history, and planning."--Robert Cervero, author of The Transit Metropolis
