BEFORE THE HUSKIE LINE.

Another photograph emerges of the DeKalb and Sycamore Interurban track along Normal Road at the Williston Hall building site.


Unattributed photograph, circa 1915, from the Joyner Historical Room collection.

The dirt track in the foreground is Normal Road.  It was later paved to allow motor vehicles to go faster.  Then it was fitted with speed humps to keep motor vehicles from going too fast.  The long-removed railroad track goes south to Lincoln Highway to turn to the east.
