dc.description	Postcard showing a winter view of Maple Street (now Capital Avenue Northeast) looking south, c. 1908. Note the interurban on the track. The horse and buggy is crossing the intersection with Fremont Street. Interurbans were electric light railroads which connected all of the major cities in Michigan from the 1890's into the 1930's when they were phased out due to increased use of automobiles. In the countryside the electric cars were powered by a third rail system and in the cities generally by overhead electric wires. Caption on front: Maple St. in Winter, Battle Creek, Mich.
