Yes. The interurban ran to Centerville.
My old hometown of Mystic is still there.
Brazil, Darby, Monkey, Iconium, Confidence and Plano are gone.

Our "family" interurban had some places where tracks used to run that are now small and getting smaller- Harcourt, Boxholm, Lehigh; places that are just grain storage bins and little else- Roberts, Lundgren, Ericson; and places that are vapor- Hope, Shady Oak, Border Plains.

Ankeny did okay for itself, though!
