These are all rather large photos, reduced to either 700 or 1000 pixels wide, so it might take a little while to view, especially if you have dialup (my original photos are 3,888 pixels wide - 10.3 megapixels). Although I usually create two webpages per subject, one with thumbnail images that you can click on to enlarge and the other for broadband users that show all photos in a larger format (like this one), having 66 photos would have taken me too long to do both.
Some of the pictures are for archive purposes, such as showing the streetcar being rolled off the truck-trailer to the tracks step by step. As a result, there are 66 photos. (All photos taken by Ken Ziegenbein)
Arriving from Ida Grove, Iowa about 8:00 a.m.
Looking toward the east in the 90+ degree heat (it got to 101 in the afternoon). The trolley barn is to the left.
Starting to move off the trailer to the track.
Front trucks on the tracks.
Closeup of move.
Last truck comes off trailer. (I opened the lens to see the trucks better)
Powered move to the barn.
Streetcar Number 10 gets ready to leave the barn to be taken a few blocsk to the bus barn for temporary storage.
412 and 410 smile for the camera!
410 getting ready to be loaded on the trailer for transport.
Starting up the ramp.
Electric overhead wires. (Sort of like looking out of a spider web)
Gomaco Trolley Company's advance truck.
Making the turn to take the 410 out of the lot.
Turning north on Maple Street toward the bus barn.
At the bus barn.
In the lot of the bus barn. Union Pacific Railroad's large North Little Rock yard is on the other side of the fence.
Almost to its temporary home.
Yes, it fit.
Laying temporary track to store 410.
Ready to roll off onto the tracks.
No. 410 was pulled off the truck.
410 will be placed back in service in the late Fall of 2006 when the extension track opens to the Clinton Library and Heifer International. This new track was already mostly in place as of July 18 but they are waiting for a special crossover track. The extension is about a half mile.
