And for the Book of Last Runs:

1936: Service on South Bend's St. Mary's streetcar line was discontinued. It marked the beginning of the end of streetcar operation in my birthplace over the next four years.

That line shared trackage with an inter urban line to Niles. Service on all interurban lines to South Bend and Mishawaka, except for the South Shore, ended in 1934.

I wonder what caused the fire on the L line east of Myrtle Ave?

Someone flip a cigarette from a passing train? Maybe flip a cigarette that fell through a street grating?
