I took this photo on the official opening day of the New Kenosha Wisconsin electric streetcar line. This photo was taken in the late afternoon toward the end of the days operations on Saturday, June 17th , 2000.
Compare this scene today on 56th Street, as many new housing complexes have emerged known as Harbor Park. In 2000, there were many vacant city lots and wide open spaces where the Chrysler factory had once stood near the city harbor on Lake Michigan.
The refurbished 1951 vintage PCC streamlined electric streetcar, was restored in the color scheme of it's former owner, the Toronto Transit Commision from the city of Toronto Ontario Canada.
