Step back to the days when the streetcar was king-when Twin Citians went to work, to school and to play by trolley! Experience the history of the streetcars through two separate demonstration railways. The Como-Harriet Streetcar Line operates on a mile of former Twin City Rapid Transit Company right-of-way between Lakes Harriet and Calhoun. The Excelsior Streetcar Line operates on one-half mile of track on the former Minneapolis and St. Louis Railway right-of-way through the south side of Excelsior.
