No offense, but if we're bringing streetcars back (and I really really hope we do), we shouldn't adopt this philosophy. Streetcars can be an important cog in the transportation network and should be treated as a viable method for moving people going about their day-to-day lives, not as a theme park exhibit. Some American cities have made this mistake. Others mind you have went with the "tourist attraction" angle to some success. Just not what I'd like to see for Calgary.
Streetcars have seen a renaissance, especially in the last decade or so.
Anyway, kind of off-topic. Carry on with the pictures.
