Beginning in 1910, an Interurban railway ran hourly electric trains (trolleys) from Benton Harbor through Millburg to Coloma. In 1913 the line was extended east to Watervliet. During the summer months, a spur carried vacationers, many from Chicago, on to Paw Paw Lake resorts. Each evening, the railway carried fruit from the area to Benton Harbor to be shipped to Chicago. The Interurban line ran until 1928.
