Como-Harriet Streetcar Line, Heritage railway in Minneapolis, United States
Como-Harriet Streetcar Line operates restored historic streetcars over approximately 1 mile between two lakes along the original track route. The vehicles are carefully maintained and run regularly, offering passengers a short journey through tree-lined neighborhoods.
The project began in the 1970s when the Minnesota Transportation Museum decided to restore and operate historic streetcars. Operations started with a single vehicle powered by a portable generator and gradually expanded from there.
The station serves as a visitor hub where displays tell the story of streetcar transportation in Minneapolis and its impact on the city. You can see how these vehicles shaped the way people moved through the neighborhoods.
The line is accessible by public transportation and parking is available near the station area for those arriving by car. Arriving early allows time to explore the surrounding neighborhood, which has walking paths and parks nearby.
One of the operating cars is a 1908 streetcar that underwent extensive restoration and continues to run regularly after more than a century. This vehicle demonstrates how these machines can last when properly maintained.
