I took this photo in downtown Memphis Tennesee, on a late Sunday morning. Thisview is looking north on Main Street near
Madison Avenue.
The yellow streetcar shown here, is an operating
replica of a two truck car originally manufactured
during the 20th century in the late teens and early 1920's by the Birney Car Company. The replica shown here, was manufactured by the Gomaco company located in Ida Grove Iowa.
The Mempis Main Street Trolley cars were originally equipped with twin spring loaded trolley poles, but have since been re-equipped
with a modern single arm pantograph.

I would like to see one of these painted in Chicago Surface Lines red and cream colors with markings.
