Ring! Ring! Ring! History of the Minneapolis Streetcar System - Zoom

Ride along for an exciting and illustrated history of streetcars in Minneapolis, including where remnants of the streetcar system can still be found today.  At its peak, the system had 524 miles of track and could take you from Lake Minnetonka areas all the way to White Bear Lake, Stillwater and Bayport.  The system was in operation from 1872 to 1954.
