 The first street car railway in St Joseph was established in 1866. These street cars were horse or mule pulled along railway tracks set on the dirt streets. This trolley was on the Wyatt Park line in 1910. Note the "Cowcatcher" on front and the wheels in the style of a railroad. You can still find traces of the trolley tracks in St Joseph. |
