Road Promoters Target Terre Haute To St Louis Interurban
Promoters led by John Bardill of Grantfork reported progress on the Terre Haute to St Louis electric interurban line. About 35 miles of right of way secured between St Louis and Greenville, with construction hoped to begin soon and operation targeted for next summer if rights are finalized. The project, costing around 4 million dollars, faces slow preliminary work but promises a link for Bond and Madison counties by the World’s Fair era. A Vandalia board meeting on February 1 is expected to reveal further progress.
