A pleasant Saturday afternoon in April of 2001 is spent photographing the recently opened electric streetcar line in downtown Kenosha Wisconsin. The Kenosha Electric Streetcar system, is a 2 mile loop of track connecting the Metra Station,the Harbor Park real estate developement-The lakefront, and natural history museum. They operate with 5 former Toronto Transit Commision 1951 built electric streetcars from Ontario Canada. The red car pictured here is painted to honor "Pittsburgh Pennsylvania".
The other cars are painted in such a way honoring other u.s citties that used this type of electric streetcar in years past. They even have one car painted to look like a Chicago CTA streetcar. Todays Kenosha Electric Railway opened on June 17th 2000. Its nice to ride it.
