@LynneWhitehorn You can find a much better copy at the Appleton Public Library on VHS tape.

awesome video, really shows how much the "flats" and college ave have changed!
-
This is fascinating! Thank you very much. Is there a higher-resolution version? If not, what would it take to make that happen?
Thank you again!

April 6, 1930 is "burned-in" the original film at 00:18 on your video. The Appleton Post Crescent (APC) of 4-07-1930 states that "Busses go on streets as electric cars are taken off" on pg 4 of sect. A. I, grandson of John Stark, knew him when alive, and now know him by sight. On pg 16 of Family History Project in APC for 5-28-1998, Ethel Kloes Dorn, daughter of Herman G Kloes, Sr., identifies the men, but "George" McGillan is actually conductor Robert F McGillan. Verify at Appleton Library.

@ROCKSTARCRANE The Milwaukee Road had many miles of electric rr powered by hydroelectric, their ads called it white coal. They got rid of it when diesels came around.. Why can't we do that today?

In the interest of historical accuracy, please note that the event occurred on April 6, 1930, not April 16 as shown in the opening scene. Also, two of the four men standing along side of car No. 50 are incorrectly identified. The correct identifications, left-to-right, are: George Mensinger, John B. Stark (grandfather of johann53217), Herman G. Kloes, Sr., and Robert F. McGillan.

@johann53217
The names and date were burned right in the film. How do you know they are
not accurate?
