Saline, Mich. with electric interurban in the middle of Michigan Ave.

The electric trolley in downtown Saline, around 1905.  The buildings are on the southeast corner of Michigan Avenue, then called "Chicago Road."

A sign in the middle of the block says "Waiting room."  That would be the interurban ticket office.  It cost very little to travel between Saline and Ypsilanti on the electric interurban.  This car was known as "Old Maude."

In 1905, investors were ready to place an interurban through Milan, connecting Ann Arbor to Toledo.
