TRAINS! 1941 last of the interurban

I note too that Canadian Pacific has been making in roads towards that direction.......beware CP...... a cut throat company if there ever was one!

if they want rail down in central and southern IN, they going to have to buy out CSX or NS.

1941 the Indiana railroad interurban came to an end, 15min vid with some cool video of the IR in its last days.

Awesome video. I love urban transit systems.

The abandoned railcar picture bit would be a nice theme for a thread of its own. Find them, capture them, post them here.

I read this story this morning. So sad petty politics get in the way of such a possible engine find.

Maybe for the better. The way things are in NYC these days they would probably turn it into an overpriced underground trendy hipster club. Sometimes it is for the better that the past remains concealed.

Electric interurbans ran across the Bay Bridge between San Francisco and Oakland from the time the bridge opened until 1958. I have vague memories of seeing one while riding in my father's truck on the lower lever of the bridge which, at that time, was reserved for trucks and Key Line trains.

So that's where they made the Key Lime pies.
