Memphis Trolley

Memphis

This trolley system has been growing steadily since the Main St. line opened in 1993. The Riverfront Line followed soon after. The Madison Line, a pre-cursor to Light rail opened in 2006.

The system has extensive street running as well as private Right-of-Way and a pedestrian transit mall. Stations are from simple shelters to more elaborate platforms on the Madison line for future Light Rail.

Memphis has 4 different vintage trolley car types

	Single Truck Brills from Oporto (Plus a GOMACO replica)
	Melbourne Australia W-2 class double-trucked cars
	A former Rio open car converted locally to an enclosed car
	A GOMACO double-trucked Birney replica car
