The twin rails have been buried beneath the road for decades after the streetcar system ended service in 1956 to make way for buses. Electric-powered streetcars had operated since the 1890s, when they replaced horse-drawn railcars.

Now the city is getting ready to bring back streetcars with the M-1 Rail, which will travel 3.3 miles from Larned Street to West Grand Boulevard. The new system is expected to be complete by late 2016.
