12/13/2023 – 7 PM ET – Presented by Cameron Nichols and the Hoosier Heartland Trolley Co.
The Hoosier Heartland Trolley Company is an Indiana nonprofit founded in 2018 to save some of the last remaining railroad cars representing Indiana’s rich electric railway heritage. The organization exists to spark imagination in people across all walks of life regarding the art, science, culture, technology, and economic empowerment of Indiana’s electric railway industry from the 20th century – at one time moving 7 million passengers annually across more than 2,000 miles of railroad to connect cities and rural communities.
The Indiana nonprofit is developing the state’s only electric heritage railway to immerse Hoosiers in authentic transportation experiences as a community asset for education, placemaking, and economic development. Join us and the Hoosier Heartland Trolley team to learn more about Indiana’s electric railways, the current restoration of an Indiana interurban that is now operable after 80 years of slumber, and what the future holds!
More information regarding Hoosier Heartland Trolley Co.’s preservation efforts, news, and development can be found at hoosiertrolley.org.
