HOW WOULD YOU GUYS LIKE SOME LINKS TO YOU TUBE VIDEOS TO TROLLEYS AND  
LIGHT RAIL LINES RUNNING TODAY?

Tampa -- but they really are not safety cars.

And the same type car in Little Rock

And the Memphis heritage lines.   The first one
is an example of someone who loves photographing
crossing gates.

The New Jersey Transit RIVER LINE from Trenton to Camden.
This is also a crossing gate picture.   Governor Christy Whitman
called this light rail.   The same cars in Escondido CA and Austin TX
are considered commuter railroad.

Hudson Bergen Light Rail is also operated by New Jersey Transit.
This is a must see ...must ride line for all of you.   I never thought
I would be sandwiched in a swinging load on a streetcar on a Sunday
afternoon in the U. S. but it happened to me there last summer.

The new extension of the Newark City subway ... the line on the
surface to Lackawanna station

I only picked on link for Minneapolis.   There are many other films
that you might want to look at.

And here is a nice shot of a UTA car in front of the Mormon Temple
in Salt Lake City.   I'm reminded of the day I tipped doorman at the
old Hotel Utah to lead me up onto a fire escape so I could photograph
the temple from a higher elevation.   Can't do that as easily today
because the hotel is a LDS church office building.

This is a nice night-time movie in downtown Houston.  Again, there
are a whole lot of additional Houston pictures.   This line is moving
about 40,000 people a day.   Great operation.

IF YOU LIKE WHAT I PICKED OUT ... ASK ME AND I'LL TRY TO
FIND SOME OF THE OTHER SYSTEMS.
