"Indiana"
On Jan. 24, 1925, two cars of Ohio's Stark Elec. RR were made trailers #315-316. These cars were named Indiana and Purdue. Both of these cars were deluxe solarium observation-parlor-buffets. In Aug. 1926, new Baldwin type 84-30-AA trucks were installed and "Indiana" was sheathed in steel plate.
Steel car #402
Painted in the brilliant red of UT, the 400's became the showpiece of central Ind. interurbans, and remained so for many years.
