About the same time of the building of this steam road the building of an interurban line from Janesville to Rockford was begun by the Rockford, Beloit & Janesville Company, incorporated in 1900 with a capital of $1,000,000. This road was completed so as to be running in 1902, and the travel over it has more than justified the expectations of its builders. Cars run regularly every hour from 6 in the morning until 11 at night, and in the summer the service is often doubled so as to give halfhour service.
