- Interurban abstract "The interurban was a type of electric railway, particularly prevalent in the United States and Canada, in the period 1900 to 1925, specializing primarily in the conveyance of passengers between cities. They also allowed fast and easy access to those cities to people who lived in the suburban or rural areas beyond. When the interurban first was built into a town, it often was met with a celebration and even subsidies. They were a hybrid between a city streetcar (tram) and a railroad train and are also known as radial railways. Interurban is a term that referred to both the interurban company and to the passenger cars that ran on the rails.The interurban was a valuable cultural institution in the 1900–1915 time period. Roads were unpaved, many town streets were dirt, and transportation was by horse-drawn carriages and carts. The interurban improved the lives of rural folk by allowing them to easily ride many miles into a city or town to discover what an urban area offered in terms of entertainment and shopping. In 1915, 15,500 miles (24,900 km) of interurban railways were operating in the U. S. For a time, interurban railways were the fifth-largest industry in the U. S. They were also poorly constructed and suffered from mismanagement.By 1930, most interurbans were gone with a small few surviving into the 1950s. Oliver Jensen, author of American Heritage History of Railroads in America, commented that "...the automobile doomed the interurban whose private tax paying tracks could never compete with the highways that a generous government provided for the motorist."".
