The "ABC" Series
The Akron Bedford Cleveland Interurban (The ABC or AB & C) was established in 1895 and ran until 1906 when it became part of the Northern Ohio Traction and Light (The N.O.T. & L.) trolley line. The "ABC" was the first high speed interurban in the United States to run between two major cities. Boasting speeds of up to 70 miles per hour a round trip from Akron to Cleveland cost just sixty cents.

Stop 27 was at the intersection of Union Street and Route 8. From N41° 22.976 W081° 31.604 you can look down onto Broadway Avenue. The Bright Red trolley cars of the ABC Line would travel along a double tracked line that ran down the center of Broadway and then turned and climbed a bridge that was set at a 6% grade to reach stop 27. The exact location of the bridge is unknown to me however the line then followed Rt 8 as it continued on to Akron. The ABC Line ran 35 round trips per day. Unfortunatly the entire trolley operation ceased in 1932.
