Plymouth Mail , January 7, 1910 William Mott may have been the area's worst wagon driver having been hit by an interurban twice within 6 months while crossing the tracks. In the second incident at Cady's Corners, which killed his horses, he claimed not to hear the approaching train. Which is not uncommon in Eloise lore where many victims voiced the same notion that a train, both freight and interurban, was upon them before they realized as much. Hence, the gates at rail crossings.

scroll through the pages with the arrows at the middle edges of the book While at John King yesterday I came across two copies of Detroit: It's Trolleys and Interurbans and was very disappointed by it. It's not a very big book and is saddle-stapled and didn't look any better than the articles that I've seen in journals so I didn't buy it. Which is what inspired me to scan the Detroit in Perspective article from 1973 written by Allan Treppa. Here it is in its entirety. Since I haven't read it yet I won't comment on it.

An article on the DUR interurban system that ran through the area between Detroit and Jackson and locales in-between as featured in the Winter 1971 edition of The Dearborn Historian . Of course, the various rails traversed the entire country but our main concern is the immediate Detroit area. Note the photos of the Westwood stop in Inkster and the few of Eloise among the mostly Dearborn stops.
