Minneapolis: Extensive sections of the Minneapolis-St. Paul-area electric railway system - Twin Cities Rapid Transit - were located in reservations and private rights-of-way - in effect, "transitways", enabling streetcars to attain relatively high speeds free of traffic, offer higher-quality service to the public, and provide an attractive service to passengers. Here, a Hopkins Line car boards riders at 45th and France on its way into the Minneapolis Loop.
