Mule Pulling Trolley 1880s By John S. Crump's Company Bartholomew County, Columbus IndianaThe Mule is a pulling trolley on 3rd Street going toward Washington Street during the 1880s before the electrical powered trolleys were introduced by Mr. Crump.Comment: John S. Crump provided the first trolley system in Columbus which consisted of rail cars pulled by mules on a steel rail system. Then during the late 1880s and 1890s he built the first electrical plant generation system. The Company was called the Crump Street Railway and Light Plant. The horse (mule) line system was running around 1880 and became electrified during that decade, on into many years later. Before Columbus Electrical PlantsAdditional Observation: Notice the top of the buildings/windows and the wonderful designs of the past. All of these building were destroyed to build the present Commons Mall. To my understanding the Commons will now also be destroyed. I wish they had just left the old buildings like these and reconditioned them for the sake of maintaining the beauty and history.Sources: (a) Partial enlarged picture of a David Sechrest picture to emphasis the mule pulling a trolley. (b) Partial history provided from both George's and Richard's posts herein related to this subject.

It is disappointing to note that the Sanborn maps do not show the interurban tracks...

Interstate Public Service Company purchased the Public Utility Company in 1912. The Public Utility Company was founded in 1888 by Mr. John S. Crump which operated a street railway with mule drawn cars. Source: Columbus High School 1924 Log (yearbook).

Hi Kay Lynn, I just wanted to welcome you to the message board. The Interurban era was before my time but it's so fascinating and so tragic that it was allowed to slip away. I can just imagine hopping on the Interruban in downtown Columbus and heading for Indy or Seymour. I too wish I could experience the sights, sound and smells long the way. Hopefully you will gather some information from here and elsewhere and I hope you share it with us here. Good luck! Ricky This is on Washington Street in Columbus headed for Indianapolis and all points inbetween!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi Kay Lynn,
I was fortunate to have been able to ride the interurban. We lived in Edinburgh during the last half of the 1930's, during the great depression I might add, but with little money we would take the interurban to Columbus almost every Saturday to shop and spend the day. I guess what I remember most about the interurban was the smell of the electric motors and the leather seats,and the click of the rails. I remember the station at Columbus, it being located at 3rd and Washington St. In 1941 we moved back to East Columbus, not in the city at that time, but any how that fall the interurban wreck south of East Columbus near Gladstone Ave. is what ended the interurban service in this area of the state. I recall my dad and I riding our bicycles to the accident, one person was killed and several were injured. A sad ending
