Silent Digital Video: Refurbished early 1900's era Brill trolley from Portugal heads north on Main Street. The Memphis Main Street Trolley. Sept 2007.



I photographed this unique silent digital video with My old camera, during a September 2007 vacation to the city of Memphis Tennesee USA.

A popular attraction in downtown Memphis, is the Memphis Main Street Trolley. This electric streetcar line, is operated by the M.A.T.A / Memphis Area Transit Authority.
Seen here heading northbound past the intersection of Madison Avenue and Main Street, is a yellow refurbished early 1900's era Brill single truck electric streetcar that once worked in Oporto Portugal.

This car is painted in a light yellow with green window trim color scheme, that is reminiscent of the long gone Fort Dodge, Des Moinse and Southern electric interurban railroad from the State of Iowa.
