Trolley photo of the day

OrangeGreen departs from Gibbs St.

When I was walking down towards the new trolley line south of Gibbs, OrangeGreen was sitting at Gibbs St. When I stopped to take a snapshot, it started to move north, so one of the snapshots picked up some interesting reflections from the lens body.

OrangeGreen?

That’s the name of the line?

That’s so cool.

The line is called the “Portland Streetcar”, but all of the cars are painted in a different two-color paint scheme. So I name the cars after their paint schemes.

Yes, I’m aware that it’s not a particularly inspired naming convention, but it’s a lot easier than trying to zoom the pictures up so I can get the car #

David–

Naw….

I’m not funnin'

It is a cool name.

And a heckfire lot better than ‘RAV Line’ (which we won’t be able to see anyhow when it goes by our hous).
