Streetcar 23 has been a part of Nelson’s history dating back to 1924 when it was originally purchased, identified as #3, and added to the existing streetcars in the city. It wasn’t until the early 1930s when the fleet of three were renumbered to 21, 22, and 23. Although only utilized as a spare or for special events, Streetcar 23 operated until June 20, 1949, when streetcar service was replaced with buses. Streetcar 23 has since been fully restored.
