HOUSTON STREETCAR HISTORY PAGES
Houston had streetcars! Long before freeways crisscrossed the city, most Houstonians got around on the trolley. At its peak in the 1920's, the system encompassed two dozen routes operating over 90 miles of track. Now gone with hardly a trace, few realize the important role it played in the development of modern Houston.
