Talk:Northern Texas Traction Company

Untitled
I added some more information about this system and will add more when I get a chance to look at my books to pick up important dates and names. I changed the listing order of Fort Worth and Dallas since the line was a Fort Worth based company. This company was very aggressive at fighting the encroachment of the automobile and took steps that kept it profitable through the Depression. I will expand that section soon and hope to address some of the reasons why the company gave up the fight in 1934.

Incorrect or incorrectly worded
"In 1905 the street cars were moving at 8 mph, but by 1923 the speed had picked up to 10.1 mph." This quote must have been talking about city streetcars or the contributor forgot to say average speed. At a distance of approximately 30 miles, the trip would have been between 3 and 4 hours at this speed and we know from published schedules this was not the case.
