Description - Mckinney Avenue Trolleys by Jim Cumbie
Streetcar lines grew and prospered in Dallas from 1872 until
the 1920s. Automobile competition siphoned many of their
riders away, but ridership soared again during World War II .
After the war, the trolleys entered an era of gradual attrition, and
they were abandoned by 1956. Amazingly, in 1989, the nonprofit
McKinney Avenue Transit Authority (MATA ) returned restored
vintage trolley cars to the city in the Uptown neighborhood near
downtown. MATA evolved from a tourist attraction into a true
transit company and became the M-Line. Since then, the area
has experienced rapid growth and is now home to midrise office
buildings and upscale apartments.
