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.
