Good Morning!

             Have seen this very topic  --  Pgh to Chicago and beyond  
--  Very Recently  --  maybe even here.     And there is a book 
published about New York to Chicago by trolley  --  yes, many transfers.

             Very interesting article here but I never like it when they 
say the TrolleyCars run by  ''Overhead Cable''  --  twould be one 
horrendous amount of arcing if such were the case!

             Very much like his explanation of Interurban  --  
Interurban is really an adjective modifying TrolleyCar which then 
renders a specific meaning.     Interurban is used as a noun which then 
clouds its meaning.

             Wish he had given more of a description of the actual route 
Lytle used, if that is available.
