Transport Memphis to Seattle via Trams

US cities currently operating Australian "Trams"

There are presently five U.S. cities operating Melbourne

W-Class trams. In addition to the cities listed below,

San Jose also has one car, and at one time New Orleans

operated a group of them on their Riverfront Line (subsequently

sold to Memphis). Most operators have added doors and folding

steps in place of the original open doorways and fixed running

boards found on the W-2 cars. In Memphis the cars have also

received pantographs in place of trolley poles. Seattle and

San Francisco operate theirs with a two-person crew, while

Memphis and Dallas operate with a single person crew.
