Winter streetcar schedule expands routes on Columbia Gardens line
The winter schedule with hourly Columbia Gardens service and half hour out to the Bell smelter branch goes into effect. Connections link the half hour South Butte car, opening unique flat town transportation and promising heavier winter use as families settle and mines hire more workers. Extensions planned include Nine Mile, Centerville Walkerville loop, and a west side loop diversions while Basin Boulder and Alhambra excursion rates continue.
