One Snowy Day in Shaker Heights

You can feel the cold as you view Shaker Heights Rapid Transit car 51 running over what appear to be snow-covered rails. There also appears to be snow falling in the car’s headlight.

It is shown one stop west of the turning loop at the end of the Van Aken line in the winter of 1969/1970.

This is today Cleveland RTA’s Blue Line and the turning loop is long gone.

This car is bound for Terminal Tower, now better known as Tower City.
