Quote:

The Houston bridge opened 103 years ago after an hourlong parade of horse-drawn buggies, carriages and motor-powered vehicles.

The bridge now has its first set of steel rails. But the regular streetcar parade won’t bring much physical change to the historic span.

Two 550-volt batteries will power the project’s U.S.-made cars across the bridge. No need for the overhead lines that will electrify the vehicles elsewhere along the route. The fleet includes two $4.5 million cars, but only one will provide service at a time.

That bridge celebration in February 1912 included booming guns, singing children and 16 maids of honor releasing homing pigeons to flight.
