Something that will not happen again. April 2021 and a #SSL #NICTD South Shore line #interurban train at the Michigan City IN. Station boarding passengers in the middle of the street. The NICTD has begun double tracking the line and building a high level platform here and eliminating street running
#KansasCity folks be like "oh we can't have a good light rail system, we're not *that* big!" and then they just forget about the past.
In Northfield,IL, the #NorthShoreLine ROW is still visible at Willow & Happ/Central roads. The #Interurban died on Jan. 21, 1963. Its SB main was taken over by the Chicago & NorthWestern (later @UnionPacific) because it was much better than CNW's own, parallel track.
