Jeff McBrideWeather was decent, so I had a ride down the #interurban to Greenwood for coffee this afternoon. Lots of bikes out. Runners. Dogs getting walks and sniffs. Love to see it.
I dont think I ate enough today though and bonked hard a few miles from home. Struggled to finish and stumbled in the door then straight to the kitchen looking for anything edible to shove in my mouth.
14missionIf you're a fan of trolleys/trams/interurbans/electric railways, you should contact the city council of Yakima, WA today to urge them to keep the Yakima Valley Trolley line intact. They have a vote on this tonight.
They are voting on whether an upcoming street renovation should at least keep retaining tracks as an option (not actually voting to spend money on it at this point).

Bike the Historic Seattle-Everett Interurban Railway
I had a blast today attempting to bike the route taken by the historic Seattle-Everett Interurban Railway from its original start at the former Shirley Hotel in downtown Seattle to the old Everett depot. I also saw some related goodies like one of the original Interurban train cars.
Biking & history are the best!

MrCMentally I'm here (and physically I was as well until about 3 hours ago.
The Transportation HistorianI had been trying to determine where the #interurban lines went through Lima, OH, but some of the paths didn't make sense. Until I found a map, which showed Lima had interurban service, but also a local #streetcar system that ran until the 1960s. In a city with a population of only ~50,000 people.
@oldroadside I suspect this building of hiding an interesting history. Maybe an #interurban station?
A century ago, this photo was taken in Haubstadt, #Indiana. This town had both a #train station and #electric #interurban service, with a population of less than 700.
Now it has over 1,600 people, but has no service of any kind. The station and several of the buildings in this photo are now gone or empty.
Even major cities with populations in the hundreds of thousands sometimes lack basic #rail service. It's painful how much we've lost.
