@LiterateIndy Would this have been similar to the interurban between Terre Haute and Indianapolis that my grandfather worked on in the early 1900โ€™s?

@chuckmoffat I think so. @WilliamHazen7 might have a better idea.

@LiterateIndy It would be nice to have the Amtrak Hoosier State back.

@LiterateIndy Grew up near Logansport and lived Indianapolis for 26 years. This would have been an amazing convenience. Aggravating.

@LiterateIndy I'm still salty that they got rid of all of these. Or that, while they spent all those years and billions of dollars on I-69 between Bloomington and Indy, they didn't also plop down a light rail in the middle, like they do in Chicago.

@LiterateIndy I canโ€™t believe it went that quickly iโ€™m 1906!? The loss of the interurban lines was truly a catastrophe, especially to lower income hoosiers. Its existence opened up their worlds.
