The yellow former Toronto Transit Commision PCC electric streetcar, heads east along 56th Street. Kenosha Wisconsin. Saturday, June 17th 2000.


I took this photograph, during the official opening day
operations, of the Kenosha Wisconsin streetcar system.

Two cars were on the property and running on this day.
The maroon car in TTC markings, and this yellow car
painted in Cincinnati Ohio colors and markings.

This photograph was taking toward the end of the day.

Thanks.
