Very nice! I need to get back out to Toronto soon. Those new streetcars look huge.

I love streetcars, they fill that little touch of vibrancy that nothing else really does.

Also nice to see Kristen Stewart is still getting work.

Yeah, they probably will have a tough time convincing people that these new LRVs have nothing in common with the LRVs that will be used on the new LRT lines under construction. "LRT" as a branding for a modern light rail system makes sense in a city that did not retain its traditional light rail system, but in Toronto it doesn't make as much sense, as you can probably see from these photos.

I am from Mississauga so I can also feel the difference that the streetcars and the tracks and the wires make. I hope Mississauga will get some of the same feeling with its upcoming LRT.

Note some of these streetcars are for Spadina, not King. I probably should add titles/descriptions.

I had to go through the photos again to figure out what you were talking about. Lol

I like how the spadina street cars sound when they come to a stop at the cross streets.

Those are some nice looking streetcars with the red and white livery.
