Trams together!
Have you noticed that George Street and trams really seem to go together? And to state the obvious, so do trams and trams! So, today in George Street, I took shots (among others) of trams and trams. Enjoy!

In light of the opening yesterday, I went and dug up a few construction photos I took almost two years ago.
The Jerusalem Light Rail is a light rail line, the first of several rapid transit lines planned by Israel for Jerusalem. Construction began in 2002 and ended in 2010, when the testing phase began. It was built by the CityPass consortium, which has a 30-year concession to operate it.
Construction also involved building the Jerusalem Chords Bridge, a major city landmark, and renovating a number of central locations in the city. After repeated delays, the light rail began free and limited passenger service on August 19, 2011. Full operations began December 1, 2011. The line is 13.9 kilometers (8.6 mi) long with 23 stops. Extensions are planned to the north to Neve Yaacov and to Hadassah Hospital Ein Kerem to the west.

Gedurende ongeveer 8 jaar hebben er 'Lightrails' gereden tussen Gouda en Alphen aan den Rijn. Deze A32-trams reden hier bij wijze van proef in verband met de RijnGouweLijn. Vanaf december 2009 werd de dienst weer overgenomen door het NS eigen SGM. In de zomer van 2010 zijn alle A32-trams per dieplader overgebracht naar Stockholm, waar ze nu dienst doen in het lokale trambedrijf.
Inside of a DART Rail car. Mom and I rode it from the end of the line at Parker Road into downtown Dallas for the day.
I can't believe an all day pass on most of the DART system was $3! But it doesn't go a lot of places. I'm spoiled by Portland.
