They also have "open" vestibules between cars, so you can walk the entire
length of the train without passing through any doors.

when a replacement is decided upon and built. This short line is only 6 stations long
and uses a unique technology of linear induction motors and side power rails. (3 photos)

streetcars for the line, so this is the remnant of that loop.
