Trolleyology: Dayton's Interurban History

Dayton, Ohio was a key interurban connection between the great Ohio and Indiana systems, with nine separate lines radiating from Third and Main, starting in 1895 with the last vestige removed in 1941. Tom Morrow will walk us through the interurbans which were found in the Gem City.

The South Shore is adding additional track between Michigan City and Gary. So it will be faster to get to Chi by train. I haven't ever been on a train as a passenger.
I am going to try it the next time I want to make a trip to the Dunes park or maybe Chi. I remember my grandparents talking about the interurban here in Indpls. and I see the old track on US40 pop the asphalt up when it freezes some years. Now they bus company is trying to put a dedicated lane where the Interurban rode.
they should put a train in instead. Buses are too big. There is an elevated train at the hospital complex downtownn and I was hoping they would expand it.
I do prefer to drve but not always.
