The streetcars operating in Tacoma were
built by Škoda, a Czech manufacturer which earlier provided this
same model for the Portland Streetcar. Similar units are
running in Seattle, which is the third
Western city operating a modern local streetcar line.
Tacoma
Link's entire fleet consists of three cars, which are housed in a
maintenance facility
located a couple of blocks beyond the terminal at Tacoma Dome Station.
Two of the units are pictured there in this view, taken before the
beginning of public operation in 2003.
This series presents a brief overview of the line from here to
the Theater District/S 9th terminal at the northern end, and then
comes back the other way, returning to this area at a much slower
pace. |
