The TECO Line streetcar began operation in Tampa in
2002. Its single line goes from the southern end of downtown, then past
the cruise terminals and Florida Aquarium, and to Ybor City, a historic
district that now features many restaurants and other entertainment
venues. The total length of the route is 2.4 miles, with
future expansion anticipated.
This view is midway along the journey. To the right are rails
connecting with the Ybor
Station Carbarn. Most of the line is single track but here and at
various points
elsewhere passing sidings allow cars in opposite directions to meet.
This approaching trolley to Ybor City has taken to the left set of rails, as is
standard practice. |
