dc.description Postcard showing a photo of an interurban car and conductors stopped at the Battle Creek Country Club on West Michigan Avenue. 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. en_US
