Object history
Object history note This file contains several artifacts on streetcars in
Robbinsdale. There are several pictures, many of them
reproduced, that depict streetcars, streetcar tracks, and
employees of th streetcar companies. There is also included
a CD-ROM from Aaron Isaacs, which should contain more
photos. There are also maps showing the local streetcar
lines around Minneapolis, as well as several recollections
about the streetcar lines. Some are photocopied from books
(and most pages are not in order). There is also a book from
the Minnegazette on Minnesota Transportation history, as
well as a typed history of Crystal and Robbinsdale with a
marked section on streetcars. Many images in the file are unable to be uploaded.
