Rail strike boosts steam line business near Muncie
The Indiana Dolon Traction Co and Lake Erie Railroad Co face a strike that harms traction ridership. Rail officials report increased steam railroad receipts as riders fear using traction cars and the south bound train at 5 20 from Muncie now stops at a nearby point to board citybound passengers.
