Indiana Railway seeks through interurban link for Elkhart
Wilbur L. Stonex counsel for the Indiana Railway Co told Elkhart Board of Works that freight cars will soon be handled as a through link from Toledo to Chicago via an extended interurban network if the city grants a side-track privilege. The plan includes a new 15 minute schedule and a Maine street track but faces narrow streets and opposition from property owners and the board. The company offered $10,000 to buy nearby land for a station and depot and would use St Joe street if approved.
