Description

This book focuses on the era of 1910–1954, from the time that Cleveland Railway Company took over operation of the consolidated streetcar lines to the day that the last streetcar rumbled over the city’s streets. Cleveland’s trailer trains, articulated cars, and its Peter Witt car model were widely admired by the nation, and the streetcar reigned supreme through the end of World War II. In 1942, the Cleveland Transit System (CTS) took over the streetcar lines, and eager to “modernize” its fleet, it decided to replace the streetcars with buses, trackless trolleys, and a crosstown rapid transit line. Featuring 200 black & white photographs!
