Little Rock — Barn Raising

Rail Transit Online, October 2002

The Central Arkansas Transit Authority on Sept. 17 staged a groundbreaking ceremony for the River Rail streetcar project’s trolley barn in North Little Rock.  The $18.35-million, 2.2-mi. (3.54 km) project will link the downtowns of Little Rock and North Little Rock when it opens in summer 2004.  In addition to the maintenance facility, work is also beginning on adapting the Main Street Bridge over the Arkansas River for streetcar operation.  The line will be operated by replica vintage streetcars from Gomaco similar to those already delivered to the Tampa-Ybor City line in Florida.
