Surveyors Pave Potential Interurban Route Through City
Last Saturday a survey party traversed the city to map an interurban from Crawfordsville to Danville, paralleling the Big Four line and entering via Liberty street. Officials remain tight lipped about plans or who funds the project, but speculation points to North Western Traction Company. The probable line would run close to the Big Four, with the C and W already extending Indianapolis to Crawfordsville and eyeing Danville. Indications suggest a connection between the McKinley System to the West and Union Traction to the East, though firm details are unrevealed.
