In 1962. Too bad they didn't keep them as other cities did. They could be useful as transportation today. http://abpr.railfan.net/abprphoto.cgi?j ... -27-62.jpg |

Yes the cars are running on conduit track. The last ovehead wire trackage went out of service in 1960. The system was conduit-only for about the last 18 months. Wesley |
