Eric explaining the working of the Streetcars
under carriage
The electronics of switching the 600 volts of
DC power around

. Looking at an axle cross member from the bottom

A view of breaking system
The spring assembly

A view of the gang after the tour and our
fearless leader (Stan) waving
A view looking outside from within

The Logo for the Streetcar System
And to think it only cost TECO 1 Million dollars
to have its name on all the Trolley's
The Streetcar at night
Nice photo...

A view of the gang before we head out on our
"Private Guided Tour" A view of the inside of the Streetcar
This is not a normal operational Streetcar since it
is an "Open Car" design

A view of one of the oldest Cigar making buildings
in the days of old. It nows houses several shops
and restaurants but remains the original structure Passing by the Centro Ybor plaza

Restaurants, bars and a large Movie Complex
all via the Streetcar System
Sights along the way...

Our Driver as we head towards the Cruise ship
port of Tampa ...Moving at about 10 miles an hour...

One of the Cruise ships in port... Blowing the Horn as an approaching Streetcar
passes us on the siding
