Stark Electric Railroad

The Stark Electric Railroad served Ohio's Stark County and, in 1903, was formed by the combination of the Stark Electric Railway and the Alliance Electric Railway Company. Serving Canton, Sebring, Salem, and Alliance, and paralleled the Pennsylvania RR's mainline. It finally went into receivership in 1932. In this 1913 view, an interurban car passes over the tracks of the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne & Chicago RR, a subsidiary of the PRR. Note the incorrect railroad name on the card.
