A ride in a PCC car in Minneapolis

A view from what was always my favorite seat in the streetcar when I was a kid: right behind the front door, so I could watch where we're going. The streetcar is a beautifully restored 1946 all-electric PCC car built by St. Louis Car Co. for the Twin City Rapid Transit company. It is presently operated by the Minnesota Streetcar Museum. Just as in the past, the driver is resting his right arm on the fare box. The route is a restored portion of the old Como-Harriet line through city parkland in southwest Minneapolis. This view was taken in the summer of 2006, going from 42nd Street at Queen Avenue, by Lake Harriet, northward toward Lake Calhoun.
