On April 8, 1956, the Department of Street Railways ran its final streetcars along the last remaining line in the city–Woodward Avenue. The D.S.R. had been gradually converting its lines to bus service beginning in the late 1930s. The top photo shows a PCC-style streetcar on that final day of service, near Moss Street in Highland Park. The sign on the car’s side reads, “The Last Streetcars Operating in Detroit.. Welcome New Woodward Buses.” The bottom photo of the Detroit Historical Museum was snapped from the window of the final streetcar as it passed.
Regular streetcar service returned to Woodward Avenue with the opening of the QLine in 2017.
Classic Chicago neon sign with chase lighting on Irving Park Road, 2012. The short video below shows the sign in action...sadly it's gone now.

Sean Duffy would be afraid to set foot here, the 95th Street station at the end of the R line in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn. But even in 1987--the "bad old days"--somebody felt secure enough here to snooze on one of the benches.
