A Streetcar Revisited

Houghton County Traction Company | (2) Comment

Several years ago during CCE’s informative early years we had come across the remains of an old trolley car rotting away in a field atop St. Louis Hill. For an early CC explorer it was an amazing find, and something completely unexpected and out of the ordinary. Well several years have now past and I though a second visit was in order, to see how things have changed. Unfortunately time has not been kind to the old trolley car, as both the elements and scrappers have taken their toll.
