I spent the last two weeks visiting my daughter and her family in Arizona. Not much real railfanning, I must admit. However, we happened upon something that might be of interest for IRM: a 1950's street scene in Bisbee. This one side street used to be part of the town of Lowell, apparently, which was later incorporated into Bisbee. There are many old buildings, some of which are partly restored, and a number of old vehicles, which are evidently parked there more or less permanently.
Nothing says "1950's" like flying saucers!
There's no street trackage, but otherwise this is a pretty neat place.

Randall,
As far as I know the only places in Arizona that had streetcars was Phoenix and Tucson. The later of these was in operation while it was still a Territory.
Glad to hear that you had a good trip!

I believe there were also electric railways (albeit very small ones) in Douglas, Prescott, and Bisbee-Warren.
