When the first electric trolley car entered service in Erie in
1889, it revolutionized public transportation in the region. Within
a few years, Erie became a major trolley hub linking the eastern
and central United States. With the exception of a 15-mile gap at
Little Falls, one could travel from New York City to Chicago via
Erie. Greater Erie Trolleys covers the network of trolley lines
that operated between Erie, Conneaut, Buffalo, and Meadville.
Greater Erie Trolleys illustrates the vital role trolley cars
played in the expansion of the urban population. It documents the
beginning of pleasure travel with photographs of the special
trolley car excursions from Erie to Elk Park for picnics, dances,
and sporting events. Ridership began to decline just as the
automobile came on the scene and dirt roads became paved highways.
Eventually the lines were abandoned, but the trolleys left an
important mark in transportation history.
