1893 – abandonment · pointer article
For two generations the town's transit was two railroads, and the trains file owns them whole. The Story of North Liberty section fixes the frame: North Liberty "for two generations was the junction of two railroads, both now abandoned" — the Wabash, whose arrival the events file dates to 1893, and the Three-I, arriving 1894, their opening dates standing in a conflict the movement file prints whole and this section does not re-open. Passenger movement on those lines, the depots, and the abandonment course are the trains file's record, pointed to here per the boundary discipline. What this section adds is only the transit judgment: no celebration of either arrival as a civic day is carried in the record reached, and when the trains stopped, no successor carrier replaced them — the town passed directly from the railroad age to the automobile, with no interurban interval.
