The history of this short-line railroad is presented with vintage photos and film footage. Emphasis is on the period from 1904-1953, when both passengers and freight were carried over this electric interurban system and its associated street car and bus lines. In 1953, passenger service ended and diesel equipment replaced the old rolling stock. Current operations are promoted in a brief sales video at the end.
