In April 2010 I was able to ride the local streetcar from the Tampa Waterside to Ybor City; the route is about 4 miles long. This route operates both "closed" and "open" cars; the 3rd picture would have worked better from an open car but what the hey. One other unique feature is that this crosses a CSX/Amtrak route on a diamond about a mile or so east of Tampa Union Station. The streetcars run a brake test each time they approach the diamond.
