Dayton: Turning Streetcar to Trolley Bus 1932-1947
The conversion from streetcar to trolleybus in Dayton is a very complicated topic. Upon and after conversion, lines were extended to cover new service
areas. Different ends were joined together, and while all this happened, a war took place, and lines were bought by City Railway,
further complicating the story.
In order to explain it, I'm going to tear a page from the
Interurban birth/death part of the website,
and take you on a graphical journey of how the streetcar lines in Dayton turned to trolleybus, starting on April 23, 1933.
