Unveiling of the U.S.-built streetcar prototype

• ... that the Portland Streetcar's Loop Service enabled the production of the first U.S.-built streetcars in nearly 60 years? Source: "'It is appropriate that we hold this meeting in the assembly bay where the first modern (American) streetcar was built in nearly 60 years,' Brown said." (Portland Tribune)

Improved to Good Article status by Truflip99 (talk). Self-nominated at 17:20, 14 May 2020 (UTC).

• Hook is cited to a reliable source and supported by source, hook is short enough and interesting to a broad audience. Nominator is exempt from QPQ requirement. Image is free (CC by SA 3.0) and used in the article. Article was promoted to GA status recently enough and is policy compliant. Article is long enough by far.

Google Maps citations

Would it be possible to consolidate the 17 citations to Google Maps into a single set (preferably one link per service)? I think a good majority can be replaced by the official streetcar map that is already cited, as confirming street names for turns and intersections would not require satellite imagery that is normally cited when using Google Maps.

@SounderBruce: you're absolutely right. I made those refs before I found this one, which sufficiently illustrates the route. --truflip99 (talk) 17:22, 15 May 2020 (UTC)

Current

Are you all sure the motive power is DC? Those sure look like AC wires in the photos (no return wire). Minturn (talk) 17:17, 22 September 2022 (UTC)

@Minturn:: It's actually 825V DC, if I'm not mistaken. source truflip99 (talk) 23:38, 22 September 2022 (UTC)
