WIBC NEWS SPECIAL: The Monon: A Journey Down The Hoosier Line!

When you hear the word “Monon” what springs to mind? My guess is “Oh! The Monon Trail! I’ve heard of that.” Well, before the Monon Trail was a thing, it was a railroad that helped build and shape Indiana into what it is today.

I’m Kurt Darling. I’m typically a News Anchor and Reporter on 93 WIBC, but lately, I’ve taken up the title of “radio documentary maker.”

In putting this project together, I wanted to tell the story of the Monon Railroad that many people of my generation may not know. How it was created. How it played a pivotal role in the Civil War. How it was never a big money-making railroad. How it literally carved Indiana into what it is for many people who live in cities and towns along where it used to be.
