At the beginning of the 20th century, the street railway
industry was one of the largest in the nation. Once ubiquitously
visible on the city streets, by mid-century the streetcar was
nothing more than a distant memory. Ohio was home to several large
streetcar systems, especially in Cleveland and Cincinnati, and had
more interurban tracks than any other state in the union. Thus,
Ohio served as one of the street railway industry's greatest
centers of manufacturing.
Built to Move Millions examines the manufacture of streetcars
and interurbans within the state of Ohio between 1900 and 1940. In
addition to discussing the five major car builders that were active
in Ohio during this period, the book addresses Ohio companies that
manufactured the various components that went into these
vehicles.
