Geocache Description:

For 35 years that sound sent Lethbridge citizens hurrying to the corner to catch the streetcar. But they all stopped here.

The two large buildings replaced the "car barns" that housed the 10 cars that ran 10 miles throughout the city. The Lethbridge street railway system ceased operation in September 1947.

Until then, you could rattle your way over to Adams park on the north side, go downtown, take a city loop or cross the prairie to Henderson Lake.

I also remember the car barns as the place people carted their salvage - old newspapers and stuff to help with the war effort in the early 1940s. How much good it did was debatable but at least we felt we were helping and got exercise.
