Reno and Las Vegas should now have light rail/streetcar 🚉🚊🚈 system soon also Reno-Carson City 🚆 commuter rail soon too¡ And also to Lake Tahoe 🚄🚆 soon¡
Michael Peirson you are right! I am retiring the camera that I used to shoot this video as soon as the new camera comes in! Just in time for Europe and other travels. Thank you for the comment!
Boy, some of the streetcars make so much noise when traveling, even at slow speeds. There must be bald spots on the wheels making a thud every time the wheel turns a revolution. Sometimes, when the vehicle brakes too hard, the wheels skid along the tracks creating these bald spots, or uneven areas in the wheels. The bald spots then damage the rail as it rolls creating a bad cycle.
Those are streetcars, a little different from normal train transit. I’m not sure why Portland doesn’t have two way, but it works. In some streetcars, only parts of the track are 2-way, meaning a train will only pass a train on those spaces.
Proud of my country trams (Czech rep.)
They are looking more European! The streetcar system seems to be very practical!
Very nice video! :-)

The streetcar system is anything but practical
Oregon Transit Fan Better than fucking driving cars and creating traffic jams. It is also much more eco friendly.

Reno and Las Vegas should now have light rail/streetcar 🚉🚊🚈 system soon also Reno-Carson City 🚆 commuter rail soon too¡ And also to Lake Tahoe 🚄🚆 soon¡
Nice video. I wonder about there is no general livery of the trams.
Glad Milwaukee has a street car!
Get one to compliment light rail in Phoenix. I can’t wait
You see the Seattle one.
I rode the first ones that came on line very few places to sit I had to stand
So slow, but cool and retro, hipster transport
AND THEY'RE FREE!
nice love you trimet
I love these videos but I think some sort of lens shade is needed, too much glare which pc wont change

Yeah these things aren't great. So bumpy, they always smell, and are dirty inside. I take buses so I can avoid it in Downtown.
why the amerikan system do not have in the two direction rail
Vito Gospodinov They do, but they are on different streets
QuarioQuario54321 buth why the cars are on the same street in the two direction
Vito Gospodinov The streets would be too narrow

The streets are one way. They go with the flow of traffic
So noisy...

Yes but this is problem of old rail infrastructure rather than streetcars.
Slowest things on earth. I've yet to complete a ride on these streetcars, I become so frustrated at how slow they are. That I get off and walk.
Lol..This is a streetcar, not a highspeed train.
