Lieber line eyed for steam car run into city
Albert Lieber reportedly pursues steam cars on his Indianapolis and Plainfield line under construction, and a Board of Works meeting sparked a clash over a half mile franchise. The board denied entry via private right of way, insisting use of the streetcar tracks until a Belt crossing is secured, fearing the private line could later enter the city. The West Indianapolis line extension to city limits was ordered to meet Lieber’s route, with the line incorporated under general railroad laws, not interurban.
