The Phoenix Trolley Museum has received another invitation to participate in a community event.  This one is on the 1800 block of Willetta in the Brentwood Historic District.   It will be a combination street fair/party and a tour of historic homes.  The street will be blocked off for vendors, vintage cars and pedestrians.  Thirteen houses and one church make up the tour — all on the one block.

We have a few volunteers and could use a couple more.   If you can give an hour or two, please contact Tom Amrhein or telephone the Museum office.

Generations before the first track of Phoenix’s new light-rail system was laid, an electric-ran system carried Phoenix residents throughout the city. It ran for six decades, from 1887 to 1948…

“During the time of the original streetcar, it went everywhere worth going,” said Ernie Workman, president of the Phoenix Trolley Museum.

Officials at the museum, as well as a former streetcar driver, hope the opening of a new light-rail system on Dec. 27 will spark interest in the old trolley system by reminding locals that a public rail system once flourished in Phoenix…

Rest of the story in the Arizona Republic
