Cedar Rapids & Iowa City trolley


This began life with the Cincinnati & Lake Erie Railroad of Ohio in 1930 when it ran over a 285 mile (458 km) route from Cincinnati, Ohio, and Detroit, Michigan.  It was sold to Cedar Rapids & Iowa City in 1938 and used by them till 1953 when it was acquired by the Seashore Trolley Museum. It was lightweight and designed for speeds over 80 mph (130 km/h).
