Streetcars in Tacoma, Washington
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Streetcars were the primary mode of public transport in Tacoma, Washington, United States from the late 1800s until their discontinuance in 1938. Operated together with a network of interurbans, streetcars provided transport within Tacoma and throughout the Puget Sound region. Buses replaced the last streetcars in 1938. Streetcar-type transportation returned to Tacoma in 2003 with the opening of the Tacoma Link, a 4-mile (6.4 km) light rail line in Downtown Tacoma. There are proposals both to expand this system and to construct a new heritage streetcar system.
