They were very anxious for the time to come when the passenger cars would be run over the line. “In the month of June. 1906, the firsts passenger cars run from Goshen to Warsaw “The car made the trip from Warsaw to Goshen which is 25 miles, in one hour. “The next year the cars began running from Warsaw through to South Bend This enabled a passenger to go from Warsaw to South Bend without changing cars By changing cars at South Bend he could go through to Chicago or Benton Harbor on electric cars "For several years there were no cars run on the Interurban line on Sunday and this made it very inconvenient for persons wishing to travel on Sunday. Tn the summer of- 1909, the cars began running every two hours ori Sunday but now they go the same on Sunday as they do through the week “As soon as the Penn Line is finished a passenger may travel from Indianapolis.
