The development of an amusement park and bathing beaches at Lake Manawa south of Council Bluffs led to construction of a steam-powered short line railroad that ran right down South 9th Street. As the resort grew and evolved the old steam line was replaced by a double track line of electric streetcars as Manawa was a true early 20th century trolley park.
