Abstract:
Railroads in Muncie, Indiana explains the evolution of railroads in Muncie, and
Delaware County, Indiana. Throughout the history of the United States, the railroad
industry has been a prominent contributor to the development and growth of states and
communities. Communities that did not have railroads did not develop as competitively
until improvements in roads and highways gave them access to an alternative form of
transportation. This manuscript provides a brief overview of the history and location of
the railroads in Muncie and their importance to the growth of the community.
