"1863 The first street railway connects downtown Urbana with the Illinois Central station to the west. The horse-drawn line passes over the "stone-arch bridge," which still stands at the corner of Springfield and Second Street in Champaign. Electric streetcars replace the horsecars, and the service continues until 1936."
Surrounding park area being renovated (2009).
