Before I ever became a "Salesman", I was employed as a local delivery truck driver. The company I worked for in Romeoville Illinois, would occasionally send Me into the Kenosha Wisconsin area on deliveries. After making one of those Late Day -Last stop deliveries, I took a lunch break and photographed the Red Kenosha streetcar near the city's lakefront on Lake Michigan. Heading east on 56th Street, is the red car wich hails from Toronto Ontario Canada. This trolley was built in 1951, and was rebuilt and refurbished during the late 1990's. It is painted red to honor a Pennsylvania streetcar company called "Pittsburgh Railways", wich operated this type of streetcar in the same color scheme.It was a very windy and bone chilling 5 above zero in Kenosha on this day. Brrrrrrrr.
