About
What is a
dinky?
A small streetcar, called a dinky, carried as many as 40 passengers on the same rail lines that were used by trains and larger streetcars. The dinky ran on electric power connected to overhead wires with a trolley pole. In St. Louis, the Loop Trolley travels down Delmar Boulevard to Forest Park. Who knows? Maybe someday you will ride a dinky.
