The gas boom in Delaware County led to rapid industrial growth, which in turn, attracted railroads. The first railroad line in Delaware County was completed through Muncie in 1852. By 1902, six intercity railroads, a local industrial railroad, and a belt-switching railroad served Muncie.
Larry developed an interest in railroads when he was a child. He rode a steam engine to school for the first year and a half before they switched to diesel and stopped using the old roundhouse at 17th and Gharkey.- Muncie Makers Market 4pm to 7pm @ Village Promenade Along University Avenue in warm weather, indoors at Village Promenade when cold/wet! 1623 West University Avenue
