Gary Railways Interurban Line, Valparaiso Division, at Milepost 12.1, East Salt Creek
Salt Creek, Indiana (Gossett Mill, Gossettville)
Date: 1938

Postmark: Not Applicable
Collection: Steven R. Shook
Remark: The Gary and Valparaiso Railway's Valparaiso Line operated from 1917 to October 23, 1938, when it was abandoned. The interurban provided hourly runs between Garyton (East Gary/Lake Station) and Valparaiso for many years. During the Great Depression, however, the schedule was reduced, with runs being operated every two hours. The discontinuance of interurban service was largely affected by the increasing use of automobiles, an improved highway system, and the financial depression. A freight service was also run on this line, transporting goods between Gary, LaPorte, South Bend, and Goshen. Milk cars were especially important in moving this commodity to larger population centers located to the west; milk cars were run on this line between Chesterton, Gary, Hammond, Indiana Harbor, LaPorte, and Valparaiso. Milk traffic on the line increased from 70 cans a day in 1913 to 270 cans by 1916. Milk cars continued operation from Valparaiso to Hammond until 1924.

Salt Creek School House

Remark: School was taught at Salt Creek from 1837 to 1856, but a building was not constructed specifically for that purpose until after 1856. The school at Salt Creek became overcrowded at some time before the Civil War, resulting in the construction of the Babcock School located north of Babcock Station and east of Crocker. Teachers at the Salt Creek School included Mrs. Hayes, Miss Massey, and Miss Hayden.
