I've wondered about that. The track runs quite a distance on Main Street, for the whole downtown plus a little, then turns onto Woodbine and runs a couple of blocks to the former site of the car barn. It looks unbroken and is continuous except for a piece at the turn from Main into Woodbine.It MIGHT be in good enough shape to run a light horse car up and down Main. People would be pretty pissed if they invested in a car and then found out the track wasn't good enough and had to spend money to redo it. Also, the horses would have to be kept and fed and groomed, and they would have to be led around the car at each end multiple times a day. Then people would discover what everyone knew a century-plus ago. Maybe a battery car? |
