Beautifully restored electric streetcars travel a 2-mile loop, providing a scenic tour of the Lake Michigan shoreline, HarborPark, two historic districts, downtown business district and the METRA train station. Stops include the McCarthy Transit Center, 8th Ave. and 54th St.
Did you know the streetcars are wheelchair accessible? There is a lift on board.
The streetcar is also referred to as a trolley by some.

City of Kenosha’s seasonal Lakefront Trolley service (rubber-tired trolley)
The ceremonial dedication of the streetcar line and the new Transit Center was held on June 17, 2000, and the memorial ribbon was broken at 11 a.m. by 4610 'Toronto', piloted by Richard Lindgren who had been a motorman for the original Kenosha Electric Railway (KERy) in 1932.
Public rides began immediately after the opening ceremony. Regularly scheduled service started two days later, on Monday morning, June 19, 2000.[1]

This is about the only thing I miss about living in Kenosha.

[@petervonpanda]

The lake front is pretty nice too!

[@martinda7446]

They are beautiful.

[@petervonpanda]

Classics!

[@mikeifyouplease]

I really wish more cities would run these old time streetcars in their cities. They actually are fun to ride, and supposedly pretty easy to repair and maintain. So they would actually fit a special "public-transit" niche in many cities and towns today. And the reason they are so pretty is that they had a contest to find the best design, and this was the winner!!

[@denieledwards6893]

JUST BRILLENT THIS CITY HAD THE INTELLIGENCE TO RESTORE THESE WONDERFUL STREET CARS, I WOULD LOVE TO VISIT.

Thanks, Dave!

[@lizcis3875]

That's my husband driving that street car! He ended up being kenoshan of the week in May.

[@petervonpanda]

No way! That's so cool, Liz! What a small world!

[@rhettoracle9679]

Ours began in 1835 and still run daily. Newer units only lasted about ten years, so old ones were refurbished and put back in service. Cheers

[@petervonpanda]

They don't build em like they used to!

[@theunsophisticatedplatypus4685]

That was awesome, thank you.

[@petervonpanda]

Thanks for joining me on this little journey!

[@danielboguse4249]

The windows always slid up and down never had pop out or push out window.

[@mikeifyouplease]

Aren't ALL streetcars electric?

[@modelrailpreservation]

For the most part yes. There were horse drawn streetcars early on, and a horse car line ran into the 1950s in Mexico. Steam streetcars saw very limited use in America, but were fairly common for a time in Europe, again, over a hundred years ago. I suppose calling it an electric streetcar is a relic of the past.

[@mikeifyouplease]

@@modelrailpreservation Yes, you are indeed right. There WERE streetcars pulled by horses. In fact, the story goes that Hallidie after seeing horses injured trying to pull streetcars up the steep hills of San Francisco, invented the cablecar. I guess you could kind of refer to it as a streetcar pulled by a cable. Of course, there are many other possibilities, but this is the story that has stuck in general public lore and it also makes you smile considering how it helped prevent the sufferings of horses.

[@catfishstalkeroutdoorswith530]

Kool! My home town.

[@petervonpanda]

Really, Greg?! It's a cool little area!

[@user-js3wc4ci8o]

Our there any lady street car drivers d. W.

[@robertsolberg7666]

They don't go nowhere and they should be free. Everyday nobody is in them so they're a waste.
