The Old Pueblo Trolley and Bus Museum works to keep buses and streetcars alive as more than just a memory.
TUCSON, Ariz. — Many might have passed by the Old Pueblo Trolley and Bus Museum and not realized the true history it holds. Two men have built their lives around their passions for buses and streetcars, once driven all over Arizona, by making sure the ones that no longer run the roads are still remembered.
Hart also creates bus and streetcar models for the museum. His passion for buses started when he started driving buses in 1958. He was loyal to the job for 20 years, and has been working with buses ever since. He still has the pocket watch he used on the job and the ticket puncher that was gifted to him in the shape of a heart to match his last name.
Gene Caywood has been a bus enthusiast his entire life, and eventually found his passion for streetcars as well. Caywood has written a book too,"Hooves & Rails: A History of the Tucson Street Railway 1897-1906". He remembered before the modern streetcar service, the Sun Link, replaced the previous one.
