The Lake Shore Electric Railway commenced operation in 1893 on the north coast of Ohio; providing transportation to Cleveland; Lorain; Sandusky; Toledo; and on to Detroit; Michigan. The Lake Shore Electric Railway connected with many other electric railroads to offer a comprehensive quilt of transportation. This allowed increased commerce; ease of transportation; and access for the industrial-era family to visit such recreation spots as Linwood; Crystal Beach; Avon Beach Park; Mitiwanga; Rye Beach; Ruggles Grove and Beach; and Cedar Point; among others. An unimaginable feat in the late 1800s; the Lake Shore Electric could travel from Lorain to Cleveland (approximately 30 miles) in under one hour; making the railway a huge success. Unfortunately this success only lasted about 40 years.
