4230 is one of Cleveland’s most traveled trolleys.  It began life as a CTS PCC operating on Cleveland streets, serving from 1946 until 1952.  That year the Toronto Transit Commission bought it, and it operated as TTC 4655 until 1978.  By that time the Shaker Rapid, now part of the Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority, needed additional cars to meet a ridership boom.  Nine TTC cars, the old 4230 among them, returned to Cleveland to meet the demand.  On the Rapid, 4230 could be recognized by its narrower body, a legacy of its city trolley origins.  Exposure to years of salt on the city streets of Toronto caused more deterioration than realized at first.  As a result, the car only saw limited service on the Rapid, mainly during rush hour.  It was among the first cars to be retired as the replacement LRV’s entered service.
