2004: Riding the Streetcars in Kenosha
Author: bandob

The Kenosha Streetcar Circulator, using PCC's, began operating in 2000, but my first trip to see it was in 2004. The 2-mile loop provides a number of nice views of the harbor and other areas.

Here's three views from onboard.

Car 4615 was built in 1951, for Toronto, Ontario, but wore the colors of Johnstown, PA. I believe today the line has 7 operating PCC's, each painted in a different city scheme.

The ride really brought back memories for me, since I grew up with PCC's in Washington, DC. The DC Transit photo is from 1960.

I've been up there twice in the last year or so and really like the line! This last time that I was there, the Chicago "Green Hornet" was running down the line.
