Portland Streetcar

Portland again has on a unique project for this very livable city, the Portland Streetcar. This line is not like the MAX light rail line. The modern trolley cars on this line share the right of way with other vehicles much as the streetcars of yore. This first line links Portland State Univ. with the trendy NW Portland, there are talks of extending to a city wide system.

The line uses 7 cars from Skoda of the Czech republic. It also uses 2 Council Crest Replica Vintage trolleys.
