Minneapolis - Minnesota - US - Linden Hills Streetcar Line

Minneapolis Streetcar No. 1300, which now appears much like it did in the 1930s-1950s era, was built by Twin City Rapid Transit as a fast interurban streetcar in 1908, with a top speed of about 35 miles per hour (105 km/h). When in operation for Twin City Lines TCRT No. 1300 was based at the East Minneapolis Station (carbarn) and often operated on the original Como-Harriet route.

Since 2003, TCRT No. 1300 has undergone extensive overhauling of its internal wiring, exterior, and internal wood and steel support structure as it hadn't had a major overhaul/rebuilding since the late 1940s. This was done for preparation of its 100th birthday in the year 2008.

Tourists and locals can ride Streetcar No. 1300 throughout the spring and summer months as weather permits.
