Streetcars, were good for more than just public transportation... did you know they were used to plow snow along their route?

I like that many were made into little diners. See the inside of one at the Henry Ford museum https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnTfj4UdCAYe8OzhSx4x9KMAE48iIiPk9kTJ3T3ahXCSbgLmcbheVViCZKvnk1YdoB7DbKBSN41txh0iAQtk6mtkkcWXtdC-QLwoeJrFRH3cXv7bu-_jVFRnslnBEixDMnnDCnLnsDFho/s1600/Henry%2520Ford%2520Diner%5B1%5D.jpg it is the nicest I've seen, most are far more simple and less ornamental

Some were made into houses: http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2009/09/street-cars-getting-second-life-as-home.html

And in San Diego I found one diner street car, and two homes made from street cars http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2008/06/survivors-of-era-i-doubt-anyone-else.html
