    Tell SoundTransit one of their streetcar or light rail cars is on its way.
    I saw it on a flatbed truck on I-80 in Wyoming going west, and have the pictures to prove it. IMG_20220508_125500711_HDR.jpg IMG_20220508_125457824_HDR.jpg

    did Seattle have to upgrade it's tracks for those behemoths?
    A lot of the routes here needed upgrading to handle the weight of the new streetcars.

    How does Seattle have the money to buy these? I thought their minimum wage laws were tanking their economy.

    Also, how are these streetcars going to run, in light of the fact that BLM and Antifa reduced the city to a smoldering pile of rubble two years ago?
