The Texas Bucket List - The McKinney Avenue Trolley
We take a step back in time as we hop on a trolley in McKinney, TX.
McKinney Avenue Trolley Dallas
Take a ride on a 109 year old Trolley named Rosie in Dallas,Texas
Built in 1909, Rosie is the oldest operating street car in the United States that is in daily service (when not down for repairs). The McKinney Avenue Transit Authority is the operator of these historic trolleys in Dallas, Texas. This was a fun ride and I hope to return to ride all of these historic trolleys in the future.
Dallas DART and the McKinney Avenue trolley.
Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) in downtown Dallas and the McKinney Avenue trolley, filmed on a blisteringly hot day in summer 1998.
A warning note to visitors to Dallas - even though the downtown / city centre streets used by DART look like normal roads there is a bizarre local law which makes it a criminal offence to cross these roads anywhere except designated crossing places.
So, even if you live in a town or city which uses trams / streetcars and are fully aware of any 'dangers' from crossing the roads they use, you must pretend to be a little child and follow the rules. The (transit) police are very enthusiastic to arrest people who cross these streets in the normal way and the punishment is both financial and a period of detention.

Uptown Neighborhood -- Dallas, TX
In the Dallas of 20 years ago, Uptown did not exist. Today the area has a widely known name replacing a variety of names from the Vineyard to the McKinney Avenue Area to part of Oak Lawn.
Today, Uptown is a community where residents, office workers and visitors enjoy the neighborhood on foot. Every weekend and even on many weekday evenings, hundreds of people walk the well-lit, tree-lined sidewalks from restaurant to restaurant, from home to the gym, from work and home to shops and public transit via the McKinney Avenue Trolley. Uptown is the community of choice for young professionals because of this walkable urban character. Nowhere else in Dallas can they find the wide variety of quality housing options found in Uptown—luxury and more moderately priced apartments, townhomes, condominiums and even historic single-family homes. Add to that the wide variety of shopping, dining, and live theater opportunities including Theatre Three and Kitchen Dog, and exceptional cultural and recreational facilities in or immediately adjacent to Uptown—from the Katy Trail to the AT&T Performing Arts Center and American Airlines Center.
The attraction of the young professional has not escaped the notice of major employers. More and more corporations choose Uptown as their preferred office location because of its appeal to these workers. It's easy to see why both young professionals and empty nesters find that Uptown has more to offer in one location than any other community in Dallas.

DART M-Line Trolly Departing Cityplace,Uptown center station
Filmed July 7th 2018.
The M-line trolley is a actual vintage street car. Everything is vintage except the RV type Roof A/Cs installed. The doors are opened by hand with a lever but the conductor has to physically close them then lock them with the lever. The ratcheting noise you hear at the start is the air compressor for the brakes. Video of the turntable at the start and end of the video.
