JohnFowles,

I'm not surprised Char bumped this topic (from a Lightfoot Florida concert thread) to Small Talk where it belongs!

Thanks for all the accurate and interesting information, brought to life with appropriate photos. Yes, I had only noticed San Francisco's cable cars (especially the one I travelled on from Union Square to Fisherman's Wharf) and not its streetcars. The ex-Melbourne trams were obviously acquired for streetcar routes, because they would be too long and heavy for the hilly cable car routes.
