This image looks eastbound in Ybor City.
Streetcars in either direction use a single track on a reserved lane
of 8th Ave in the historic district. At the Tampa Bay Federal Credit Union station,
visible in the background more or less under the pedestrian overpass, a
second track allows cars in either direction to meet. In the
distance a car heads to the next and final stop, Centennial Park.
The station, named for a credit union, and the TECO identity itself,
speak to a fact of life about the line: it is supported in
part by paid plugs from corporate sponsors. TECO Energy is the
parent company to Tampa Electric, supplier of the area's power needs,
and other business units. |
