Yeah, as late as 2001, the "trolley jolly" attitude continued to prevail there. It's historically important to preserve streetcars by all means, and it's great to see so many of them so well taken care of. However as the older folks go to the carbarn in the sky, the only way that history will be preserved into the future is to maintain later equipment that younger people can relate to or those streetcars will also go to the carbarn in the sky as surely as there are very very few stagecoach museums that attract crowds and money to maintain them.I do understand the attitude, but it's counterproductive now. |
