The streetcar shift change. Exchanging the vintage streetcar for the newer version.

The newer-newer streetcars look so futuristic and come in all kinds of bright colors. The green one reminds me of a caterpillar.

Portland, OR

Cool.

My older sister had this music playing when she walked down the aisle at her wedding. I remember joking with my other sisters (the bridesmaids) that they had to take a step on every beat, so pretty much jog on the spot.

San Francisco has vintage cars from around the world running on its rails. I am a fan of the old-school streetcars.

I think that these are actually reproduction vintage... they have heaters under the seats that turn on during the winter. Regardless, I love the "vintage" ones! They run for free on Sundays!

very nice!

Rio has some real vintage ones... I should make a video of them.
Maria 1 year ago

YES! I would love to see them!
janie 1 year ago

I love both of them!

They are so short, just 1 waggon. No one on the train? Or are they driving every 2 minutes.

These only make a small loop from the Pearl District to Downtown, and they come every 12 minutes. There is a much bigger MAX train with much larger cars that goes all over the city, the airport, and the surrounding areas. The streetcar is great for quick trips downtown, you don't have to worry about parking!

This video was taken at the streetcar storage house. One was getting ready to start the shift, and the vintage one was going home for the night.

I love trams.
