All details and information is listed below. This video shows historic photos of interurbans, suburbans, and street railways as well as a modern photo of the same area. Also shown is a 360 spin of the area. Sorry if the panning of the camera makes you sick, I tried moving it as slow as I could. Ten areas are shown. All are in Indiana. All of this footage was taken within the last few months. The interurbans, suburbans, and street railways made up a system of electrified railways (mules for a few years prior) that were in operation from the early 1880s to the early 1940s. This is how people got around back in the day. The lines had many owners through their existence.
