'Kaleidoscope' edition, Vol. 6 is an in-depth and historic look through northeast Ohio's Cleveland & Chagrin Falls (C. & C. F.) and Cleveland & Eastern (C. & E.) railway interurban systems. The book contains an array of significant information not covered in previous editions. Comparisons between the two lines will be examined along with a merit of data. The author has previously published two books on the C. & E., therefore, the building history, operations and abandonment of the C. & C. F. route will be primarily focused upon. However, several important areas and Stops along the C. & E. line will be investigated. A comprehensive look at the Cleveland & Chagrin Falls line from Cleveland to Garrettsville will be presented. The author will take the reader on a Stop by Stop tour, creating an informative and panoramic view as to what was and remains today. This includes recent photos of remote locations along the right-of-way never before seen. An historic and comprehensive analysis of unique Stops will be examined. These include the Cleveland & Chagrin Falls Carbarns, Smith's Crossing, South Newbury Station, Punderson Lake, Hiram House Camp, Mooreland Hills Valley, Steele's Crossing, the Cleveland & Eastern lost church bell, along with construction materials from northeast Ohio's stone quarries which was used by the electric and steam railways to build and operate their lines. Each chapter contains an abundance of histories not previously published, offering the reader their own perspective as to why something may have occurred. For example, the Wales Hotel at Punderson Lake Stop 44 was removed two decades before the line was abandoned. The author provides a perspective from both sides, including a thorough history of Punderson Lake's development. Its later owners Mr. Cleveland and Long created the Lakefield Zoo which contained exotic animals such as Elk and Bison. Maps and blueprints denote the locations mentioned, providing an accurate placement and time frame. A large compilation of exclusive photographs are placed throughout each chapter in addition to a photo chapter. The story of Everett & Moore's interurban lines will place the reader back to the early 20th century, when life in northeast Ohio was simpler.
