Why is Heirtage Streetcar Lines becoming popular ?


They also a Form of a Heritage Railroad.

Why are there Many US cities have Taking abandoned Railroad Tracks & change to Heritage Trolley Line .


For Mostly a Tourist Lines & cheaper then building a Modern Light Rail Line.


But Also adding Street Trackages.




But with the Savannah River Street Streetcar Line was Former Norfolk Southern Branch Line that now a Wireless Streetcar line now.


Which is the first Bio Diesel electric hybrid streetcar line in all Niorth America.


But possible to upgraded to mostly Electrified Railroad Tracks .



Will be easy & cheaper in the long run but have the Bio Diesel Onboard Generator Cars just incase of Power Outages ,Thunder Storms.



But Bio Diesel Electric Hybrid Streetcars is Cleaner then the Streetcars they have in Galvenston ,Texas that uses 4 or 5
Traditional Diesel Electric Streetcar Replicas.




But the city of Savannah ,Georgia did wanted to do a Over Wired Lines for the River Street Railroad Line so

Onboard Hybrid Generator Streetcars more then likley to be done then the Overhead wired system.




But Hydro Powered Streetcars Would really cool known as a Hydrolleys also would be a cleaner then fossil Fuels .



Eco Friendly


Traditional Diesel Causes people with Asthma or any breathing problems .




For the River Street Streetcar Line is over 1 mile Long but also would .


But also the River street Railroad Tracks would moved to the curb side that the Savannah Modility Manger told me.


the River Street Streetcar line will be also going to savannah Roundhouse Railroad Museum & visitors center too.


But For also New Modern Streetcar line the Manger was telling me about to have those streetcar too.\


But allways have the Vintage Charm with the old fasioned streetcars too for Savannah River Street Streetcar & MLK blvd.


But i think the that the Heritage /Vintage Streetcar are great for Historic Savannah,Georgia
