Several errors and omissions in the story. Too many to recite
here. But at least the old interurbans are getting some press,
and that’s good. As long as future historians do not rely on the
piece!<br>

I like Dwight's observation -- the article Does keep the System
alive and in the public eye. First blush says the article is
"filler" but if it is on or near an Anniversary date for the
railway, it also suggests local interest in history.<br>
<br>
A suggestion: write to the author and suggest contact with PTM or
even "come-along-side" yourself as an outreach for PTM. Being a
Friend endears them to PTM which then becomes a household name in
Butler. Let them know about the saved Butler Interurban and
associated buildings!<br>
