The city of Saint Louis Missouri, was a late user of electric city streetcars in the midwest, and operated them in daily transit service until 1966.

I found this photo at My Link page Dave's Electric Railroads, located to the right of Your computer screen at www.davesrailpix.com

The late railfan photographer Dave Mewhinney, took this photo way back in 1955.

This post World War 2 Saint Louis Car Company PCC electric streetcar, is viewed working the Rt # 14 Clayton / Washington line near Washington University.

After the Saint Louis Public Service Company ceased all electric streetcar operations in 1966, several cars would eventually work for the San Francisco municipal Railway in California, and the Shaker Heights Rapid Transit Line in Cleveland Ohio.
