Thanks, Bruce. I think we did our last redesign of streetcars back in the 70's. The ones like in the photo aren't seen on the streets anymore, at least not for commuter use. They can actually be rented for parties or special corporate functions, so I guess that's why the older ones are still hanging around the yards. Every so often one sees street cars of this vintage (I suspect it's from the 50's or 60's) or sometimes an even older one from the 40's, zipping around town. That would be an interesting way to get to a party... Thanks for your comments - glad you enjoyed it. cheers, frank > -- "It's about time we started to take photography seriously and treat it as a hobby." -Eliott Erwitt
