Cargo tram to carry auto parts across the city. AFAIK only modern-day instance of cargo tram in the world.

I don't want to derail (pun not intended) the thread, but cargo trams are a pretty fucking good idea. Instead of cargo cages polluting everything and shitting up traffic, have large stores get their good straight from factories by tram. Hell, you can even use the same line to transport workers.

I would be happy if Wal-Mart and Target used the railroads to deliver to their stores considering a store consumes 2-5 containers worth of goods a day.

Seriously, what was the reason in this?

>>1053970

Problem is that it's not how cargo is moved. Logistics networks are based around land-intensive industrial facilities (a thing made possible due to electric power) which rely on railroads for hub-to-hub trunk transport and semi trucks for last mile delivery. Meanwhile, cities adjusted to this by instituting zoning laws, forcing industrial operations to move out of cities which were expected to be commercial and residential. During this process, the entire idea of stopping a train in the middle of the street and unloading cargo for nearby businesses became absurd. Semi truck drivers already have this problem in many states and cities, where they must use a desginated loading dock or green zone otherwise they get ticketed for blocking the street.

That said, it's not impossible. Over the next 50 years as road tolling becomes more common I expect freight RRs to offer more "local" service, for smaller and smaller businesses. Perhaps they could do roro service for delivery vans (allowing hub facilities to be located outside of the metro area) or offer cheaper 25' and 10' container services.

Here's a perfect demonstration of the problem: passengers who use passenger trains (ie, light rails or metros) want unrestricted pedestrian access to storefronts. However, since freight operations would take up this space this would either require them to do freight after hours or build new freight-only lines to freight-only docks in the rear of buildings.

The former is inconvenient to businesses while the latter is expensive. The only thing that will change is road tolling.

It isn't a real commieblock without a tatra tram or a soviet-style subway in front. Other than that, spot on though.

Failure of Kai Tak tram alternative triggers me. I imagine its extension in this image, even onto Salisbury Road along the harbor and into West Kowloon. Nathan Road is a mess. We failed twice to introduce one on Kowloon already. Fucking monorail.

Would be nice to have elevated and underground structures. Will suggest after I try it.

It would be nice to have transit shelters that serve both sides. They could be much more narrow than the presently available elements.

>>1055691
Agreed

Salt Lake City has streets with 132 ft of ROW. What can you do with 132 ft, /n/?

You can basically do anything with that much room.

Oops, messed up the parking and biking lanes on the right side.

Pacific Electric's line to Watts had 4 tracks in the middle of the road.
