Lind under the Whiting-East Chicago description: "In later years the C&CD charged an 8 cent fare on its lines, while CSL charged 7 cents, making a total of 15 cents for an interstate ride. The extra fare was collected at the state line each way. The CSL and the HW&EC each issued transfers for the line, and cars in through service carried a fare resister for each company."

Maybe the conductor asked whether customers were going over the state line when they boarded and collected both fares then?Frank Hickshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05577228910617578573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1810478746663531557.post-90637944185317490862016-06-12T21:55:34.179-05:002016-06-12T21:55:34.179-05:00Thank you for this interesting history on an unusu...Thank you for this interesting history on an unusual car.<br /><br />How was the fare collection process handled when the cars crossed the state line and the fare was collected for the second system after they were converted to Pay-As-You-Enter (PAYE) operation?<br /><br />Tony GuraTony Guranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1810478746663531557.post-75334341893518068752016-06-09T15:13:24.691-05:002016-06-09T15:13:24.691-05:00Another wonderful car history.

They collectively would make for an outstanding coffee-table book with larger pictures and drawings. I would love to add to my interurban book collecting with one of these. You may have planned to do other such histories, and I hope you do. Including a few steel cars like the 45x series of CA&E and the Electroliners/liberty liners of the North Shore.<br />Anyway, I know that putting these together with the citations and references is labor intensive, and you should know that your work is highly appreciated.lee wellshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10118485096098619971noreply@blogger.com
