**There are some old streets here and there where you can still find the old tracks in the street. They’re a bit like an archaeological relic nowadays.***
Back in 1972, I was driving in downtown Tulsa with my mother-in-law. I showed here where there was street work going on and in the holes dug you could see the old wooden ties the rails for their street cars had set on. They had all been paved over many years before. She remembered when they were in service.
LA has now done an about face, and is in a hurry to build serious public transport systems. They now have a subway system that runs from downtown to Hollywood and the Wilshire (business) district. There are plans to extend it further.
They’ve also built new electric street car lines, starting in the downtown area and working their way outwards. Some of the newer freeways have rail lines running down the center median areas, with platform stations and everything.
