Up until Oklahoma City opened its modern
streetcar system, El Reno has the only streetcar system running in the
state of Oklahoma since 2001.
I visited El Reno in June of 2021, but the
"Heritage Express" was not running. The Streetcar was locked up tight in
its small carbarn. But I did go down all the streets it operates.
The line uses an ex-Philadelphia & Western Strafford car. The car was
converted to street loading and a diseal generator was added to provide
electrical power.
The car gives tours around the town. El Reno did
have interurban service to Oklahoma City from 1911 to 1947.
