San Diego Trolley in Downtown

Since 1981, the San Diego Trolley has been serving the downtown area, as well as several surrounding communities in the city of San Diego. Here, you will see the trolley running through San Diego, focusing on downtown. All 4 types of modern LRV vehicles owned by SD MTS are featured as well as their vintage streetcar, PCC number 529.

First class video.   I've only been to San Diego a couple of time but each time I thought the trolly service looked neat.  Your video confirms it.   The happiest frame came at the end: 'to be continued'.

Great video shot's of PCC 529! My favorite vintage trolley car! I have a friend that restored that car!

Orange Empire actually has two U2's now. It's nice to see more modern equipment being preserved.

OMG! I was on the one at 4:50! I Remember going down to Washington Street from San Ysidro Tijuana To Visit My Grandma In the area. I remember being on that trolley and it showed the same people out there that I saw! Lmfao!

Nice video! I used to live in San Diego 4 years ago which I'm moving back next month; this video makes me more anxious! Thanks for the upload, great work!

Nothing better than hearing the Doppler effect when listening to trains.

We have the U2's here in Alberta, Canada in both Edmonton and Calgary. However, they are slowly being changed.

Compare with videos or photos of these cars in Mendoza, Argentina. Their light rail opened in 2012 with 31 cars fr San Diego, plus 4 as parts sources.
One car is at the trolley museum in Rockhill, PA. Commenter said 2 are at Orange Empire. Knoxville, TN had plans for light rail using 18 of these cars but Tennessee officials moved to practically outlaw light rail development as they did with bus rapid transit in Nashville.

If you ever come to Australia be sure to visit Melbourne. It has the largest tram system in the world!

5:25 that was a pretty nice horn action tbh

These trains are now located in the city of Mendoza in Argentina.

Just had a thought, have you ever looked at videos of the trolly service in Prague?   I've been there a few times and travelled on their their trolly service.    It's quite an experience.   It's both above and below ground.   Worth a look.

San Diego lost their trolleys sometime in the early 50's, but were smart enough to bring them back!

2:16 never seen a 2 car train on the SD light rail. Nice catch.

San Diego's blueline has an extension that goes up to UCSD- very good views of mission bay from the cars

[rendezvous]

U2's are going away next week, as the blue line will make it's transition to S70/SD100 service. Long live the U2's.
