Interurban Wooden Combine project

Terre Haute, Indianapolis & Eastern Traction Company, wooden combine

In 1907, the Cincinnati Car Company built a number of wooden combine Interurban cars for the Terre Haute, Indianapolis & Eastern Traction Company.

This cars, built to the classic midewstern 61'6"diagram, were considered as the nec plus ultra of wooden Interurban construction.

Similar cars went to several Ohio lines. The Northern Indiana Railway recieved eight cars with only a slightly different side window arrangement.

This classic wooden combine will be the subject of my next drawing session.
