What would it take, he asks, to run a real streetcar in Muscatine, maybe between historic Downtown\/Riverfront and Southend sports complex? He says the USA's premier heritage-trolley restorer and replica-maker is Gomaco Trolley Co. of Ida Grove, Iowa (http:\/\/www.gomacotrolley.com), but their only car in Iowa is at Old Threshers in Mt. Pleasant (http:\/\/www.oldthreshers.org\/index.cfm?fuseaction=page.midwestElectricRailway). He reads a description of Muscatine's eight streetcars ordered in 1913 and proposes commissioning Gomaco to construct a replica. He also reads from and comments on Facebook discussion with skeptics. He calls this show Part 2 of his &quot;rant&quot; from September 2008 (http:\/\/muscatinetours.libsyn.com\/index.php?post_id=383570).","author_name":"Muscatine Tours Podcast","author_url":"http:\/\/muscatinetours.libsyn.com","html":"<iframe title=\"Libsyn Player\" style=\"border: none\" src=\"\/\/html5-player.libsyn.com\/embed\/episode\/id\/1225260\/height\/90\/theme\/custom\/thumbnail\/yes\/direction\/forward\/render-playlist\/no\/custom-color\/88AA3C\/\" height=\"90\" width=\"600\" scrolling=\"no\"  allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen><\/iframe>","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/assets.libsyn.com\/secure\/item\/1225260"}
