Jacksonville Trolley- 1926

So, today, we have bikes, motorcycles, busses, cars, the skyway and even 2 wheel scooters on the downtown streets for transportation.  Back-in-the-day, there was the trolley cars that stretched form Orgega, to downtown, downtown to Panama Park, downtown to Springfield and of course, Riverside.

While riding in the Riverside area yesterday, I came across the trolley drawing of yesteryear.  ‘Love it. Don’t you?  I saw no artist’s name but honors to that gifted person or people.  

The Historical Society did a post on trolleys saying that the last riders on December 12, 1926 were Judge Burton Barrs(Barrs Street), the street car President, J. P. Ingle( Ingle Street), Mayor John Alsop( Main(Alsop)Street Bridge fame), C.D. Gay, a man who had ridden on the first electric car.  The ending ride took place at Forsyth and Ocean.
