Car #453 appears again in this image, this time
beyond the last stop on the Madison Ave. Line, on the far side of
Cleveland Ave. The track near the camera continues beyond the
switch in the distance, but presently leads nowhere. At
some point in the future a conventional light rail line may continue
from this location to Memphis International Airport.
The
Madison Ave. Line travels about two miles along that street.
The route supports higher speeds than the other two lines,
and has relatively little of tourist interest near its stops.
There are major medical and education facilities located nearby at
several stations.
This particular streetcar is a well-done and very much modern-day
replica, built by Gomaco Trolley Co., "manufacturers of authentic
vintage trolley cars." |
