[CBQ] Oregon Interurban

["'Rupert & Maureen' gamlenz@ihug.co.nz [CBQ]" <CBQ@yahoogroups.com>]

There is a brief history of the Oregon interurban in History of Holt County (1916) which includes the note “A small passenger coach, propelled by a gasoline engine is in operation part of the time, when travel is light.”

The October 1921 ORER still listed Forest City as an interchange point for the Burlington with the Oregon Interurban.

 

The traffic on the O.I. was summarised in a February 1918 newspaper report at

From the work I've done over several years on Missouri Shortlines, OI had what was described in period documents as a "25HP four-wheeled  vehicle", which was used for passenger service.  1919 Moody's shows a single "gasoline motor car", 1 passenger car, 1 freight car and 2 locomotives.
