Trolley Line Causes Trouble in Express Trade
Interurban lines operating their own business win a growing share of the express market from steam routes. Trolley lines carry much express matter, causing a drop in traditional express companies. Old firms face possible attempts to regain control amid revenue losses.
Steam Lines Form United Front Against Trolley Competition
The Michigan Central and Lake Shore plan to launch new time cards on May 14 signaling a fight against trolley lines. Railroads may run nine passenger trains each way toward Toledo and Detroit, effectively creating a double track system. Fares likely stay steady except possibly in select localities as steam lines match interurban service.
