Billings Street Railroad trolley car

Details

DescriptionLikely the remains of the original street car trolley that operated between Billings and Coulson in 1882-1883. Judge F.L. Mann said the old car was loaned to the Elk's Club during a convention at Miles City in 1908 and never returned - See 'Judge Mann tells of Fate of Old Street car Loaned to Miles City', Billings Gazette, January 4, 1931. The Billings to Coulson street car ran on Minnesota Ave, 26th South and then 4th Avenue South to Coulson's Main Street - Is that what it says (Minnesota to Main Street?) along the top of the car? Frank L. Mann was the conductor of the first street car system in Montana (Billings Street Rail Way) that operated between Billings and Coulson in 1882-1883 - See 'Coulson Beer Served To Stimulate Traffic on First Street Car', Billings Gazette, June 30, 1927.TypeImageCreatorUnknownGenrephotographsDate1908SubjectTrolley carsStreet-railroadsMen--Clothing & dress--1900-1910Contributing InstitutionBillings Public LibraryGeographic CoverageBillings, MontanaDigital CollectionBillings - Images of PlacesDigital Formatimage/jpgDigitization SpecificationEpson 1640 XL scanner. 8 x 10 image at 300 dpi, 8 bit greyscale.
