Hey Mike, it sounds like this trolley from Fort Collins, CO runs on grass. It seems to me that the tracks are invisible. The last Surfliner F59 is 458. I hope one day in the future when Metra's F59PHI's retire, they will be sent to the Illinois Railway Museum in Union IL to be shown on display and they can maintain their original Surfliner paint scheme so that we can remember them as the first F59's to be used on the Surfliner. Mike, would you like to return to Chicago to witness those amazing F59's on National Train Day as part of an excursion trip on Metra?

About 3/4 of the St. Charles line in New Orleans, LA is in a grass median with two tracks separated by the poles. This is the original line using original Peter Witt cars. There are several other lines now back in operation. Check out New Orleans Public Service. The track gauge of NOPS is 5 ft. by city demand so that freight cars could not be brought into down town like some lines did.

Watching this, we still have snow in BC (Canada) where I live. Makes me wish May would come sooner so I can be driving our streetcar once again! It's a Brill semi-convertible streetcar. We also have a Birney car, but it rarely goes out. Look up the Nelson Electric Tramway Society!

Streetcars are so cool. When I was a kid we had them in Detroit. Detroit being an automotive town, the car manufactures got their way. The city tore up the tracks and most of the cars were sold to Mexico City, Mexico. - Cheers from The Detroit & Mackinac Railway -

Hey Mike, I heard from Wikipedia that SC-44 Chargers are replacing GE Genesis locomotives for long distance travel by 2024. I hope Amtrak doesn't get rid of its heritage units. They can be used on Amtrak's exhibit train.

There is a streetcar museum about 50km from my house. They have 2 streetcars you can ride. An open one from the 1890s and an interurban one from the 1910s. Plus a whole bunch of other old streetcars and subway cars

Speaking of which I first heard about this trolley in an old DVD tape that I still have to this day called -Colorado-s Scenic Train Rides- by Railway Productions.
