Continuing with the tour of Forest Park I continue past the Missouri History Museum:

Outside the museum is an old trolley car -- the title "Loop Trolley" refers to the Loop neighbourhood to the northwest, which used to be the turnaround for all the trolley cars. Streetcars are no longer used in St. Louis. There's been talk of establishing a new Loop Trolley, with a streetcar line connecting the Loop to the History Museum in Forest Park, but it seems like such a short distance and I don't know who would end up using it, except for tourists. That has been debated elsewhere, though.
