Shaker Heights Rapid Transit Lines – Modern Tramway Vol. 12 No. 137, May 1949
Modern Tramway talks, in 1949, of the Shaker Heights Rapid Transit (SHRT) Lines as “A high speed electric light railway entirely on reserved track, connecting a beautiful high class residential district with the centre of a large city. affording such speedy and efficient service that the car-owning suburban residents prefer to use it and park their cars on land provided by the line; a system which makes a handsome profit and has recently taken delivery of 25 of the most modern type of electric rail units in the world [which] are only some of the outstanding facts about Shaker Heights Rapid Transit."

Pleased to see, Reverend, that your rail publications recognize that we do have passenger trains over on our side of "The Ditch".
Shaker Heights holds the dubious "honor" with me when during October 2016, I got stopped by a member of their Constabulary. The Sat/Nav in my auto gets confused with streets converging at angles less than left or right, and I was going around in circles. He was wondering why so I got stopped. After reviewing my license and insurance, he courteously let me go with directions to the hotel at which I was staying.
