Back in the early 1900s a trolley ride only cost you 5 cents. This mosaic sculpture "Trolley Fare" in Salisbury, North Carolina, was created in 2016 by sculptor Jeanette Brossart. It commemorates the history of the Fulton Heights neighborhood, which emerged at a time when nationwide planning spurred growth in towns around the state. This effort included extending Salisbury's existing streetcar tracks to the neighborhood in 1904 as a way to provide direct transportation for workers commuting to the Spencer Shops, the largest steam locomotive repair center of the Southern Railway Company.
