The last streetcars ran in Minneapolis and St. Paul on June 18, 1954. The changeover to buses required the removal of miles of streetcar tracks and the repaving of streets throughout the Twin Cities and suburbs.
This photograph from the St. Paul Dispatch & Pioneer Press shows workmen removing a section of track in downtown St. Paul in October 1954.
