Reply to "Random Photos of Trolley Cars"

The real story of Oklahoma City's former interurbans, they ran from OKC outward to Yukon, in the West of the state; North to Guthrie; East to Shawnee, Okla.   In addition they had miles of trackage throughout Oklahoma City, connecting all parts and a main means of getting around.  Just as shown in the movie "Who Shot Roger Rabbit ?", General Motors Corp. bought the entire system, tracks and equipment, in 1947 and immediately scrapped every bit of it, replacing it for the city with GM manufactured motor buses.  How many times, in how many American cities and towns, did this occur?  Not one single OKC streetcar preserved for history...…….. only black and white photos.
