Streetcar Workshop

Yesterday's Streetcar Workshop received extensive coverage in BlogDowntown, as well as StreetsBlog LA. This image sets the mood of a streetcar revival on Broadway

Here more photos of recent streetcar lines. The Portland Streetcar blazed the trail of modern streetcars as the catalyst to new pedestrian-oriented downtowns.

Two replica Pacific Electric Red Cars run in San Pedro. Extensions south to the beach, west into downtown, and north are planned.

Replica cars circle downtown Little Rock, Arkansas, go to the Clinton Library, and cross the river to North Little Rock.
