[PRCo] Cleveland and SHRT

[Dwight Long]

Guys

Here is a real Peter Witt car, however, on 25 August 1953, no longer being used in Peter Witt fare collection mode, but rather one man, front entrance.  This at Public Square a few months before the last line, Madison, Crumped.

And forget those old center door clunkers beloved only by Clevelanders (Sorry Dennis and JWV!).  Here is the real deal of a gem on SHRT, same day as above, 304 at Shaker Square.  Yes, I rode it out from Terminal Tower.  Sorry it is not a very good photo compositionwise, but it sure brings back memories.  For those who may not know, these 1923-built St. Louis cars were second hand from the Aurora, Fox River and Elgin interurban in Illinois, a portion of which is still in use as the Fox  River Trolley Museum.  This very car was saved and lived for years at Brookins, but is now back home at South Elgin.

Getting back on track, I am attaching three photos that I took on the SHR T in the mid-60's: 



- PCC 94 at Shaker Square on 9/15/66 (94 is now at PTM). 



- PCC 95 at Shaker Square  leading an outbound 3-car train onto the Van Aiken line on 9/15/66. 



- Body of a  double-end trolley that may have been used as an office/storage facility. Taken  at Van Aiken loop on 8/15/64.  Note the person in the fourth window from the right who appears to be writing at a desk.   Does anyone kn ow the  number/history of this car?

And remember, Derrick, when you could hand your luggage to an airline representative at the curb and he would tag it and it would go onto the plane.  You didn't even have to carry it into the terminal.    Back in the days when they wanted business …. before they give you the business.
