Los Angeles Transit
The Americana at Brand Trolley

Trolley

This is a small loop trolley line that does a loop through The Americana At Brand "Lifestyle Center in Glendale, CA. This is an open air mall designed like old downtowns. The Shopping Center operator is the same that runs The Grove in LA which also has a trolley.

This trolley operates via batteries as there is no overhead. The batteries are charged via inductive loops at one of the two stops on the loop, as well as the car barn. It is patterned after an open air car. There is also a trailer car that can be used. It looks like a trolley from "Mister Rogers Neighborhood
