Back when having streetcars was the sign of a progressive town, towns without them were embarrassed. It was not uncommon to insert a fake streetcar into a street scene. In this case, the car is really from the Twin Cities.
Fargo Moorhead Electric Street Railway streetcar number 5 turns off Front Street (Center Avenue) onto 4th Street North in downtown Moorhead. The view is to the northeast of Front Street just east of 4th Street. Visible beyond the streetcar is Pederson Brothers' Mercantile Company wholesale liquor distributing business and, in the distance at right, I. C. Week's grocery store.

When built, all the Twin Cities streetcars had rear wire gates, where all passengers entered and exited. By 1949, few were left. This is a railfan trip at the west end of the Hopkins trestle at 8th Avenue.
Twin City Rapid Transit Co. leased and electrified the Milwaukee Road's branch line from Hopkins to Deephaven. This photo shows a streetcar passing Gibbs Lake.
