My Mother and Grandmother use to take this trolley to Columbus to visit my great Great Grandmother. So thankfull for the post my mother is 90 and she will love It!
This video seems to be from the early thirties, judging from the men's clothes, and the fact that these CD&M high speed parlor cars were ordered in the late 1920's. All CD&M service ceased in 1933, after the Cleveland, Southwestern, and Columbus electric line ceased operations, which deprived CD&M of it's profitable Columbus to Cleveland overnight freight service. One CD&M parlor car, like the one shown in the film, is preserved at the Ohio Railway Museum at Worthington, Ohio. .

I wonder if Warren Harding ever rode the CD & M from Marion (His home town) to Columbus?

@boazrg Harding may have taken a ride on the CD&M but I don't know if it is documented or not.

This would be a useful means of transportation for "green" living in today's world. Good history review for this area.
