Okay, I'm going off topic, as this pertains to Cleveland, but since PTM has 
some Ohio equipment, maybe most of you will forgive me form asking here.

Somebody here was a CTA trolley bus operator while in college, but my 
ever-dimming brain can't recall who it was. Maybe he knows the answer.

Anyway, I was going through part of Paul Weyrich's slide collection and 
found a cube labeled "Cleveland Trackless Trolleys." I was expecting faded 
duplicates. I was pleasantly surprised to find well preserved original 
Ektachrome and Kodachome slides of Cleveland's trackless trolleys, taken 
during the early 1960s.

Some of these slides, however,  featured a Cleveland trackless trolley 
running around the Chicago system in. What was that all about? Some really 
nicely exposed shots inside a CTA garage were a highlight.

Anyway, thanks in advance for any responses concerning the Cleveland 
trackless trolley in Chicago.
