I'm curious to see the numerous light rail systems from around the country. So post pics of your city or state's systems.

I'll start, I guess................. New Jersey.

I snapped a few shots of Pittsburgh's subway/light rail before the cops harassed me as usual....

MODERATOR REMOVED: Please do not post full resolution shots. It bogs things down too much. Please resize your shots to approx. 800 pixels or less (give or take)

Thank you.

Memphis, Tennessee

Even though it's one of the newest light rail systems in the country, they opted to renovate old trolley cars rather than buy new ones. I love it.

Well Chicago only has a heavy rail system, so here is light rail from other places I have lived.

Folks, please, do not post full resolution shots or excessive numbers of shots, as there are people on here who (yes, really) still use dialup or slower broadband connections, and as the thread gets longer it will bog the thing down. Try to keep postings to around 5-6 pics max per post, and, at around 800 pixels in size (give or take a few).

Since we are comparing light rail pics, it's more appropriate for the vs. room and is also being moved there.

Thank you.
