Trolleyology: Pittsburgh Streetcars: April 1971

In the spring of 1971, the Pittsburgh streetcar system was a mere shadow of its former glory, and it was about to shrink even more. For a high school student visiting the city for the first time, however, what remained was intoxicating, with plenty of activity. This show follows a teenage Dave around the South Hills as he rode and photographed the tired-looking, but incredibly fascinating remaining routes. Featured subjects include the single-track, rush-hour only operation between Castle Shannon and Mt. Lebanon, which is now part of the PRT Red Line, and the hilltop lines in Beltzhoover, Allentown and Knoxville, which had just over half-a-year left to run.

Trolleyology: Meet Me Beneath Public Square: The Saga of Cleveland’s Subways

This presentation will address various plans to build a Cleveland subway. It will look at three distinct periods of time (Progressive Era, 1920s, 1950s) when planning reached a fairly advanced stage and the people of Cleveland voted on whether or not to go forward with construction. Despite the optimism of their promoters, only one small subway was ever built. We will look at the subway that got built, and two “near misses” that got away…
