Image:mata_186_ld05.jpg Image:MLineMapSum05.gif The '''McKinney Avenue Transit Authority''', a non-profit organization, operates the M-line Streetcar line in Dallas, Texas (USA). It is a good example of a Heritage_streetcar running historic cars. The main stretch of the M-line runs down McKinney Avenue, through the LoMac community in Uptown. The M-line Streetcar is free to the public, thanks to a joint operating subsidy received from Dallas_Area_Rapid_Transit (DART) and the Uptown Improvement District. The M-line Streetcar connects with the DART light rail station at Cityplace_Station on the Red and Blue lines. The downtown end of the line currently terminates at the corner of Ross and St. Paul near the Dallas_Museum_of_Art, but there are plans to extend the M-line further into downtown. ==History== Metropolitan Dallas had numerous streetcar lines from the late 1800s through 1930s. Most of these lines have long since been removed and the Mckinney Trolley is now the only remnant. Numerous maps of the old trolley routes are available online. http://dallaslibrary.org/CTX/murphyandbolanz/Block2/bb2p641.html ==External links== * McKinney Avenue Transit Authority {{tram-stub}} Category:Dallas_Area_Rapid_Transit Category:Heritage_streetcar_systems Category:Presently_operating_light_rail_or_streetcars_in_the_United_States
