Description |
Southern Traction Company Interurban Motor 302 at Glendale Siding, near Ledbetter Drive and Frio Drive in South Oak Cliff. Waco Division. The car appears to be broken down and is awaiting a tow. From Jim Foster - Pioneers of Dallas County Facebook page: The proud citizens of Glendale, a community one mile south of Lisbon, considered itself a part of Lisbon until the developers arrived. After that, it strove to remain separate, touting it's lovely 30-acre park owned by the Southern Traction Company that operated the southern Interurban electric rail line, a line that connected Dallas with Lancaster, Waxahachie and beyond. As was the custom in those days, the home developers lured customers to their new additions by offering free rides on the Interurban. Salesmen showed potential home buyers the lots and house plans before letting the families loose to picnic in the park, play baseball and socialize. See: Map 8 |
