There is another Pgh - Cleveland connection with the Shaker system being 
very similar to Library and Drake:::
.
.......2-lines use a common throat to a junction where there is a 
cutback loop  (ala 37-Shannon!~!)  --  totally prw with entry into 
subway terminal in downtown Cleveland.     Operations were Extremely 
Fast and Very Enjoyable.

- here the 3-car PCC  """Train"""  is Either entering the loop or 
heading for Van Aken.

- The shared portion of the two Shaker Lines  (Overbrook in Pgh.) was 
totally grade separated.

Shaker yard showing left side door of extra long Pullman - believe that 
door was never used.     One of the older cars which is also typical of 
the older cars used on Cleveland Streets.

Cleveland City system had not a few Trolley Coach lines - often the case 
when TrolleyCar lines were abandoned they were replaced by TrolleyCoaches.
.
Enclosed is a photo of two Museum Cars loaned to Shaker to cover a car 
shortage during modernization of the line to light rail - line has 
Always Been Light Rail by definition.     These Museum cars originally 
ran on the Illinois Terminal Interurban system!!!
