History

A PAT PCC streetcar, No. 4006 is on display in front of the Schoolhouse Arts Center, 100 yards (91 m) east of the station. This trolley operated on the route before it was converted to Light Rail operation. The number has been removed at the request of a local family as this vehicle was involved in a fatal accident whilst operating on the 47 Drake route.[2]
