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.

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.
