Electric Competition Drives Wabash Ground Purchase at Pittsburgh
The Dayton and Union Railway, owned by the Big Four and Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton, expands service from Dayton to Union with six daily trains rising to twelve each day including Sunday. New coaches costing $14,000 each boast baggage rooms smoking sections and a silent acetylene lighting system. The line aims to halve Greenville Dayton travel time to 46 minutes and cut fares with a two trip ticket. The broader shift sees trolley rivals press steam lines across Indiana and Michigan, with competition prompting route expansions and fare scrutiny.
