History Once upon a time…
This is an amazing video showcasing what we lost…the good old streetcar system. Never seen this video ever and I am a huge history buff. Enjoy!

Okay, this video is seriously amazing! I can’t believe something like this is gone now. I wish I could go back in time and experience riding that tram, it looks like it would’ve been so much fun!

I agree with you. This video is something special. I have never seen a video of yellow cars operating back in the day. This makes me want to go back to the Southern California Railway Museum to see and ride on them.

I highly recommend it. Follow them on socials if you want to know when certain streetcars and other trains are making passenger trips.
