Where do you live, Roger?  Are you available as a tour guide sometime this year?

> Well Fred, I have traced C&LE and LAKE SHORE ELECTRIC and they are pretty easy to trace. Harry Christiansen printed a book called OHIO TROLLEY TRAILS that was available from Trolleyville Book store the last time I was there a couple years ago. C&LE right of way has become the other lane of their highway system in several places. Lake Shore Electric is easily followed from Cleveland to Beach Park Carhouse(still there) as it ran along the road or adjacent to it. I never knew Beach Park was a goodly distance from Cleveland. (20 or more miles) Stations exist in many towns. The new Lake Shore Electric book had pix and discriptions of R-O-W and where to find it. I think you can contact the Trolleyville Store and have them send you these books.(unless that operation is shut down as they have plans to go to Cleveland)    cheers rogertrolley
