LSE Car 150 in Car Yard in Cleveland

LSE Car 150 was built in Niles, Ohio, in 1906 and is typical of interurban cars used throughout the region. The 52-seat car's headsign reads "Beach Park," which was a popular amusement park on the LSE line in Avon Lake. One of LSE's predecessors, Lorain & Cleveland Railway, opened Avon Beach Park in 1898 and operated it until it sold the park in 1923 to the Cleveland Electric Illuminating Company, which eventually replaced it with the Avon power plant. | Date: September 1936 | Source: Cleveland Public Library, Photograph Collection
