Central Arkansas Transit's new streetcars are slated to come online this fall. They are letting the public view the carbarn and cars during the North Little Rock Centennial celebration, Friday and Saturday, April 30 and May 1, 2004. Here are a few scenes of the cars and tracks.




They finished laying the tracks over the Main Street Arkansas River highway bridge in early April for the streetcars. This view is facing south toward Little Rock.


The three, three-quarter million dollar each new streetcars in the carbarn in North Little Rock.

Just one photo of the opening ceremonies of the NLR Centennial celebration. The second and third from the right may be recognizable to you  - Mary Steenburgen (a native of North Little Rock) and her husband Ted Danson. All were reciting the Pledge of Allegiance.
