CHAPTER THREE

The Detroit-Superior Bridge Subway

by Jack Ainsley 267

Greater Cleveland has legitimately laid claim to many achievements. Not the least among them was its public transit system. From the beginnings of the horsecar era in 1859 to the "sardine days" of World War II, Cleveland transit operators provided high quality service to their patrons while introducing procedures and equipment that were widely copied elsewhere.

The social and political aspects of Cleveland's public transportation history are the subject of this book's companion volume. Our focus here is on the more technological aspects of how the system ran and on the vehicles it used and is using to carry its passengers and maintain its infrastructure.
