An interurban trolley car sits at the Interurban Station in Blissfield, Michigan, as a horse-drawn buggy and pedestrians share the unpaved street nearby. The postcard-style title at the top reads, “Interurban Station, Blissfield, Mich.”
Blissfield (Lenawee County) was one of many small Michigan towns tied into the early-1900s interurban network — electric rail lines that carried riders between towns before cars and paved roads took over. Railroad historians note the area was served by the Toledo & Western, an interurban line that began in the early 1900s and ran passenger service before later changes in ownership and abandonment of parts of the system.
Do you remember stories about the interurban — or where this station sat in town?
