Streetcars of St Louis, MO

"ST. LOUIS MO ( KTVI - FOX2Now.com ) - They vanished from the streets of St. Louis in 1966. Wednesday night there was word there's word they could be back 2012: street cars.

This idea suddenly seemed to be on the 'fast track' at an open house at the Regional Arts Commission on the Delmar Loop in West St. Louis.

The "Loop Trolley" street car on display as an artifact outside the History Museum in Forest Park, could turn out to be sitting at one of 16 stops on St. Louis's new street car route.

The love affair with street cars seemed to be one St. Louis just wasn't ready to let go."
