Synopsis
A global journey exploring vibrant streetcar systems and their enduring legacy.
Lifelong streetcar enthusiast Kenneth C. Springirth asks you, the reader, to join him on a thrilling ride to the greatest centers of streetcar heritage across the world. Starting at Pittsburgh's iconic downtown subway, you will travel to the Isle of Man, with its amazing open-air horse-drawn trams, and Blackpool, with its neat, well-patronized double deckers. Several stops are made in mainland Europe: in Amsterdam, for instance, where the municipal authorities have revitalized the popular tram system; and Helsinki, where the network has seen recent investment and expansion. In the Far East, there are stops in Hong Kong, home to the world's largest fleet of double-decker trams, and further south, in Melbourne, which boasts the largest streetcar system in the English-speaking world. Then it's a long hop over the Pacific to Toronto, Canada, where you'll find what is arguably the most impressive trolley car system in North America. After these highlights and many more, you will surely be convinced of the exciting future of this unparalleled form of public transportation. So come aboard, join the ride on this grand tour of thriving streetcar networks across the globe.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Trolleys, Trams, and Light Rail Around The World covers the Pittsburgh light rail system with its downtown subway, street running, and private right of way. In the British Isles, the amazing Isle of Man is shown with its vintage open-air horse-drawn trams along with electric trams, as is Blackpool, England, with its neat, efficient, and well-patronized double deckers. Hong Kong has the world's largest fleet of double-decker trams and is extensively covered. Trolleys in Toronto, Canada, have been well-maintained over the years, and today Toronto has the largest trolley car system in North America. In Amsterdam, The Netherlands, the decision made by municipal authorities to re-equip its system with new tram cars was well received by the public and has resulted in the retention of the tram service. The decision in Helsinki, Finland, in 1969 to have trams only in the city center has been reversed, and the system has since been expanded. The tram system in Melbourne, Australia, has never shut down and is today the largest tram system in the English-speaking world. In a challenging world, this book clearly shows an exciting future for the trolley car. The trolley car once faced extinction. Kenneth Springirth's Trolleys, Trams, and Light Rail Around The World clearly shows its bright future. This must-read book captures the new role of the trolley car around the world.
