Simms Collection - Arkansas Valley Interurban

The Arkansas Valley Interurban operated between Wichita and Hutchinson in Kansas, and has an interesting history as told by Hilton & Due.  Passenger service ended in 1938, but freight service continued until 1942, when the rails were requisitioned for a wartime scrap drive.

None of these pictures have any information, except for the location of #202.

  1. Morning Randall - thanks for posting these! The line-up of 500-series box motors is Texas Electric alongside the Dallas freight terminal. Art

  2. Sorry! Thanks for the correction. We have a good-sized collection of Texas Electric, so I guess I'll have to start on that next!
