The interurban depot at Marne, in a 2003 view. [Alan Loftis]  Below, an older version of the same depot.  Marne was known as Berlin until the name was changed in 1919 because town people were upset about German involvement in World War I.  Marne was selected after the Battle of Marne during the war. [MPN] Notice the sign on the car which says 'Car Following', suggesting that a second section of this train is not far behind and that it carries the same timetable rights as the first train.  Steam railroads often used green flags on the front locomotive for this purpose.  [Photo, Alan Loftis Colleciton]
