EPSC 1512 crossing Stanton 03062024
El Paso streetcar opened in 2018 with 6 restored PCC cars that were part of the El Paso fleet from 1950-1974 purchased from San Diego. They have been modernized with A/C and a handicap lift on the rear doors. Underneath the front doors you can see the "lifeguard basket" that deploys should someone get underneath the car that catches them before they would get to the trucks.
El Paso streetcar is currently a figure-8 loop serving downtown, two pedestrian/vehicle bridges to Mexico, and UTEP. The original 1950 -1974 line was a loop that travelled down Stanton Street, across the border into Ciudad Juarez, Mexico and back up El Paso Street a few blocks west. Some of the tracks of the original alignment can still be seen today, such as on the Stanton-Lerdo bridge in the background (under the white van).
