Spectrum HO Peter Witt Street Car

Road Name: Baltimore Transit Company

While serving as Cleveland's Street Railway Commissioner, Peter
Witt designed an all-steel, single-operator streetcar that
distinguished itself from others of the era by its use of the
center door as an exit only. Passengers could pay the waiting
conductor as they boarded at the front and exited at the center
of the car, an arrangement which reduced stop times, improved
schedules, and increased efficiency. Though designed originally
for Cleveland, the Peter Witt Street Car went on to service in
cities throughout the world from the 1930s up until the early
1960s.

- DCC-equipped for speed, direction, and lighting
