End of street-running era on America’s last interurban: CSS&SB to be double-tracked, grade-separated in Michigan City, Ind.
Abstract
With a significant re-build of the Chicago, South Shore & South Bend railway line through Michigan City, Indiana, the distinctive street running found there (since 1908) will be lost. The author documents, through text and photographs, the history of the line
on the eve of that rebuild. Reproduced with the permission of the Railway & Locomotive Historical Society.
