Description:
Initiated in 1915 by merging parts of the existing Russell-Shaver and East Side Lines. Operated from northern terminus around N. Larrabee and Mississippi, down Union and Grand Aves. to SE Woodward & 10th.
In 1937 conversion of the line to trolley bus began, but rationing and shortages due to WWII saw return of the trolleys, including the chipping out of paved-over tracks in some areas in 1941.
The line was converted to buses permanently in 1948.
A large section of narrow gauge tracks from this line can still be seen today under the Grand Ave. Viaduct.
