Beginning in 2007 Twin City Lines replaced the Minnegazette as the quarterly history magazine for Minnesota Streetcar Museum members. Each issue contains articles with detailed insights into the history of electric railways in Minnesota, usually within a particular theme. Members of the streetcar museum receive mailed copies of each quarterly magazine.
As part of the 50th anniversary of the Como-Harriet museum line we are putting Twin City Lines issues online. Issues will be available online 2 years after publication. Please consider becoming a museum member and start receiving current issues!
