The largest grant in our history brings our first interurban car restoration project for Hoosiers to enjoy the art, science, technology, and transformative empowerment that was Indiana’s electric interurban railway closer to completion. Join us to revive Hoosier history for future generations and to build an educational, community-placemaking driver for Indiana.
The Hoosier Heartland Trolley Company is excited to announce that interurban No. 429 has received a $4,999 Heritage Support Grant from the Indiana Historical Society. The grant project will provide for new boarding steps, baggage room ladders and the iconic “cowcatcher” or pilot on the front, which resembles a snowplow and prevents objects from being caught underneath the train.
