Winter on the Kenosha Wisconsin trolley line. January 2001.

I had taken these weekday photos, on location in the city of Kenosha Wisconsin during early January of 2001. The weather featured lots of clear skies and brilliant sunshine, however....
it was a very dangerous 5 above zero with sharp windchill factors around 10 below zero. It is a wonder My camera didn't freeze. There were frostbite advisories announced on the local radio stations.
Cold weather or not, the Kenosha electric streetcar system was still up and running. I took a couple of rides around the streetcar loop, and the car had very adequette heat inside. The streetcarr operates mostly on private grassy right of way. The sections of private right of way, had tall snowbanks on each side up to the bottom of the cars windows in some sections. The city was recovering from a recent lake effect blizzard. Kenosha Transit plows the streetcar right of way, with a small 2 axel Unimong truck. This vechicle is equipped with a wedge plow, and retractable "Hi Rail" wheels for track running.
