Kenosha |
Kenosha has built a small trolley loop
around an area of town they are trying to develop. It links the METRA
commuter train station with service to Chicago, downtown and the new
harbor front area. It also serves the transit center for Kenosha's bus
system. The trolley line is new, but uses rebuilt PCC cars. Like San
Francisco, they painted the cars to represent cities that had PCC's in the
past. It is a neat system. The five cities represented are Johnstown
(Kenosha), Toronto, Chicago, Cincinnati & Pittsburgh. It takes streetcar
about 10~15 minutes to round the loop. It is well worth the trip.
Hopefully someday they will extend the system!
