Front shot of 1944 Pullman-Standard 113 on 102nd
Ave. at the Provincial Museum. 25 SE 99. Photo by R. C. DeArmond. Note the two
tracks of overhead wires. Both head east. The right hand set is an express set
of wires that have never been used in revenue service. Plans for express trolleys
were shelved in 1985 after this portion was built. There are two set of westbound
wires as well. They cannot be seen because of the trees. This is the obvious
solution to critics of "overhead unsightliness": plant trees of this
type in the parking strips (boulevards) of all streets with trolleybus wires.
Only drawback is that it takes a few years for the trees to get tall enough
to cover over the overhead. 25 SE 99. Photo by R. C. DeArmond.
