When Cleveland Had a Subway
By James A. Toman, Blaine S. Hays, Bruce E. Young and James R. Spangler
A photographic essay of the history of the Detroit-Superior (now VeteransMemorial) Bridge subway, When Cleveland Had a Subway recalls the short era when streetcars traveled below ground. Between 1917 and 1954, the most bustling period in Cleveland's history, the city did have a subway of sorts. The lower deck of the Detroit-Superior Bridge witnessed the near constant squeal of streetcar wheels. The lines that ran from Public Square westward at their height brought thousands of West-siders and others to and from the center of the city. The 48-page book contains 53 vintage photos of the bridge, streetcars, interurbans, and the downtown area surrounding the subway. Take a ride along memory lane with a story and images of Cleveland's rich past.
