Crossing The Avenue
Title:  Crossing The Avenue
Description:  With the way ahead clear, TCRT 1239 -one of two surviving Twin City Lines "gate" cars- rolls on down the old Minneapolis and St. Louis, treading right-of-way once stomped by steam locos and geeps.

"To Minneapolis" Once Upon A Time
Title:  "To Minneapolis" Once Upon A Time
Description:  The Twin Cities Rapid Transit streetcar line to Excelsior was double-tracked and crossed above the Minneapolis and St. Louis where the current bridge stands in the background. From the end of streetcar service in 1932 to 2001 the original bridge that used to bear the weight of trolleys like the 1239 carried automobile traffic until, alas, it was replaced.

Gate End View
Title:  Gate End View
Description:  TCRT 1239 is a "gate car" in that passengers boarded and detrained via the gated end you see here. Crewmembers had the option of boarding via a door up front. The 1239 no doubt once traveled the original streetcar rails to Lake Minnetonka between 1906-1932, when trolleys gave way to buses beyond Hopkins, MN.

Dig Those Decorations!
Title:  Dig Those Decorations!
Description:  The MSM crew pauses the "Holly Trolley" at the Morse Avenue grade crossing as per common streetcar rules of operation. I love how they dolled up TCRT 1239 for the season.
