Good afternoon,
I saw a Michael Portillo Programme a couple of days ago, a repeat I think from 2017. He was in San Francisco and travelled on the Cable Cars that the city is well know for. However, in some background shots, I noticed what appeared to be, some single deck, more traditional type trams, they looked very sleek and streamlined. (Rather like those Silver Caravans that came from the USA). They also reminded me somewhat of the "Balloon Type" Blackpool trams. I did not know that San Francisco had other type of trams, I don't remember seeing any when I was there years ago. Do these still run now? what age were they built? I was wondering, from their look, if they were from the 1940s/1950s. Are they are heritage service, or in day to day regular use?
Thanks Steve.
