Muncie streetcars

Apologies:  MUncie streetcars did quit in 1931, since they lost lots of money, because of unrestricted jitney competition, with the city unwilling to correct the situation.   Tracks used by the interurban cars to Fort Wayne and Indianapolis continued to be used until all Indiana Railroad rail service quite in Jnauary 1941.   But Indiana Ralroad did come back to run the bus service through WWII and a few years after.   Apologies, I was thinking of Anderson, Indiana.
