Rw's Right Down The Line El Paso Streetcar #texas #streetcars #elpaso #publictransit

Hey folks The city of El Paso Texas plans to open its new streetcar system at the end of 2018 or around Thanksgiving. The route will run in two loops. The Downtown Loop travels along Santa Fe Street, Franklin Avenue, Kansas Street and Father Ra hm Avenue. The Uptown Loop runs along Franklin Avenue, Stanton Street, Baltimore Drive, Glory Road, and Oregon Street. The route will connect the international bridges, retail areas, government buildings, convention center and downtown ballpark with the medical center, University of Texas at El Paso and several historic neighborhoods.

The route will be serviced by Presidents’ Conference Committee (PCC) streetcar vehicles – the same vehicles that ran on El Paso streets until 1974. As part of this project, six vintage El Paso streetcars are being expertly restored for the rigors of daily service. While the cars are decades old, they’ll be outfitted with modern amenities including air conditioning and wifi. Each of the six cars will be painted in one of three original color schemes from the 1950s, 1960s, or 1970s. #texas #streetcars #elpaso #publictransit
