   Not really. Railroad from the moment it reached Kensington and interchanged   
   and was hauled by IC.   
      
   Not to mention that the AC electrification was not typical of interurban.   
      
   The street running was quite typical of pioneer steam roads, but atypical   
   of early 20th century railroads, so street running in three town was   
   unusual, yes.   
      
   Mainly, South Shore is an interurban because Middleton's publisher thought   
   it made a great book title.
