The Toronto streetcar system is a network of ten streetcar routes in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, operated by the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC). This special type, the "Presidents' Conference Committee Car", which you can see here in 1986, was used by the Toronto Transportation Commission and the Toronto Transit Commission back then. - scanned slide, Minolta X700
Streetcars first arrived in New Orleans in 1835 and were originally pulled by small steam locomotives, which were later replaced by horse drawn carriages. The St. Charles Streetcar railway is
the oldest, continuously operating railway in the world.

Streetcar #265 now at its new home makes a station stop at the Excelsior Depot, which was the M&StL Passenger Depot.
It had originally been built in 1915 by TCRT as No. 1791, but was sold to Duluth the next year. It operated there until Duluth's streetcar system was abandoned in 1939. The car was then sold and converted into a summer cabin in Solon Springs, Wisconsin, a fate that was not unusual for old wooden streetcars that managed to escape being burned up as streetcar lines abandoned. The interior had been removed, so important pieces like the railroad trucks, the electric wiring and other parts had to be scavenged from other old streetcars or built from scratch.
Thanks to the Streetcar Museum and Scott H. for the assistance in this photo shoot.
