1945 Trolley
 |
|
Pittsburg County Railway's trolley car
number 35 heading West at the East side of the 'Public Service' electric
utility company facility, which contained the main garageof the
streetcar line. Electric Street ( now Gene Stipe Blvd. ) is just to left
of streetcar. The house at left of trolley was demolished in the 1980's.
This photo was taken in 1944-45 period. A very interesting aspect of
this photo is that just to left of the house is visable a barracks and
just to right of the streetcar is a guard tower of the World War II
prisoner-of-war interment camp. German POW's were incarcerated here till
end of the war.
