Scope and content
Just after midnight on Thursday April 7, 1938, the last cable car in Tacoma took its last circular trip from A St. up 11th St. to K St. (Martin Luther King, Jr. St.), and back down 13th St. to A. After the cable car reached Tacoma Railway and Power Company's car barn, Charles W. Schrum, standing beside the cable drive system, turned off the power and ended an era in Tacoma's transportation history. (T.Times, 4/8/1938, p.1).
