METRO was kind enough to invite some people to their operations and maintenance facility today to take a look at what could be the new Tempe Streetcar vehicles. I’ll post some more info soon but wanted to show a couple of videos from today as well as a few pics.
There will be a public viewing of this streetcar this weekend, I’ll get the date / time out, soon.
First Look – Modern Streetcar
This next video was my first ride in a streetcar. They are very similar to a light rail car, just a bit smaller. Pretty cool stuff, if you ask me…
My first streetcar ride
Here is a shot from inside of the maintenance facility.
An informational piece was inside of one of the trains today.
More info coming soon. 🙂
Soooooo…. where are those things supposed to go now?
They are just sample cars, will run down Mill Ave in 2016 if / when the project is funded / approved.
