Description
-
A photo of an old newspaper clipping showing one of the first published photographs of a Forest Grove street car and of the story that accompanied it. The street car is shown with the driver standing at the entrance. 'Forest Grove Transportation' is written on the side of the car. The article title is 'FOREST GROVE CARS RUNNING' with the dateline 'Forest Grove, Or., Aug. 11.' The article reads 'The Forest Grove Transportation company cars are now running again after a delay of a week, caused by the burning out of the transformers at the plant up Gales creek. The plant formerly owned by the town will also be used and a new generator will be installed soon. The accompanying picture is of a passenger car at the intersection of Main street and First avenue, north.'
