Picture of the Month, April 2007
"Have your fare ready." Nashville mass transportation began in the 1860s with the first mule drawn street cars. In 1889, the city changed from animal drawn to electric powered and remained so until February, 1941. Beginning its run at 12 o'clock, the last streetcar to run in Nashville was the "Owl" operating in the Radnor railroad yards area.
