The streetcar |
This is the newer streetcar line in Seattle
opening in 2016. It link the old town area, King Street Station, the
International District, First Hill and Capitol Hill districts of
Seattle.
It uses Inkeon trams, that on the outside look
similar to the cars on the South Lake Union line. However, the First Hill
cars have off-wire capability. Most of the line heading down from Capitol
Hill to the International District runs on battery power. Up to Capitol
Hill cars run under wire. The reason was to reduce the amount of
complicated overhead due to the Trolley Bus wires. Although there is still
a complicated mess in some areas.
There are plans to extend the line north from the
Denny terminus. There is also a plan to extend the line from the downtown
end to eventually link up with the South Lake Union line.
