In the late 19th century and early 20th century there were many streetcars and interurban railways in Ohio.^[1] According to the Toledo Blade, "By 1908, the 2,800 miles of interurban routes in Ohio were 1,000 miles more than in any other state."

The Cincinnati and Lake Erie Railroad operated a 217 miles (349 km) interurban line between Toledo and Cincinnati.^[1]
