Eastbound Orange PCC trolley on 56th Street grassy median. Kenosha Wisconsin USA. September 2000.

A popular attraction close to Chicago just across the Wisconsin State line, is the Kenosha Electric Streetcar. This trolley line operates on a short two mile loop in downtown Kenosha Wisconsin, and is a natural for people who desire to ride an electric streetcar in an urban setting today. The orange 1951 vintage PCC type electric streetcar shown here, is heading east on 56th Street to Harbor Park on the citys lakefront and harbor along the Lake Michigan shore. Kenosha has 5 refurbished PCC streetcars acquired second hand from the Toronto Transit Commision in Canada.
