Terre Haute Light & Traction, Indianapolis & Northwestern, Indianpolis & Martinsville, and Indianapolis Crawfordsville & Western were later acquisitions. The THI&E operated a wide network covering much of western Indiana with a line to Richmond in the east and streetcar lines in several cities. It was absorbed into the Indiana Railroad network in 1930.
