About this tag

Easy to pedal past, but No. 371 is the real thing. It’s the surviving body of a Louisville Railway streetcar trailer built by Kuhlman in 1924. Trailer cars had no motors of their own and were pulled behind powered streetcars when extra capacity was needed. Louisville’s streetcars disappeared after Derby Day 1948, but 371 somehow ended up across the river in Clarksville, jacked up on blocks beside the Greenway.
