It’s the middle of the week at Starr Park in Forest Park. The sun plays hide and seek with the clouds as people begin to board the trolley.

The car is a glimmering pearly white with some black trim. Inside, there’s a leathery brown interior with enough seating for about 15 people.

Residents of Forest Park aboard the trolley had the chance to go “off the rails” for the first time with the new city’s new guided tour. The ride is a peek into the community’s history and current developments.
