In Service
Tri-Met’s latest trolley line – the green line to Clackamas Towne Center – opened for revenue service today, and I took a leisurely ride up and down the Woody Guthrie path taking pictures of all of the different types of trolley cars that are now running in revenue service on the line.
Note that the Bombardier Type 1 cars are still running even though they’re now 26 years old. Eventually Tri-Met will be wanting to retire them, but there they are, still rolling up the revenue miles alongside their much newer (and much more expensive) stablemates.
I wonder what it would cost to charter one of the new(er) Gomaco wooden cars for a loop on the new line?
