68 years ago today, Cleveland’s first and only heavy rail transit line opened. Originally running between Windermere & Union Terminal, it expanded to W 117th later that year. Happy bday to the @GCRTA Red Line.

In 1955, the trip from Public Square to Windermere was scheduled to take 18 minutes. In 2023, that same trip is scheduled to take …19 minutes.
@TomHorsman @GCRTA Reading the full text of that announcement gets me absolutely PUMPED about the Red Line.
@TomHorsman @GCRTA So optimistic about the future of public transit.
@TomHorsman @GCRTA And in 1968 the red line became the first city-airport rail link in the US.
