I'm glad I took one last ride last weekend. I'm sad for the loss of the kinetic energy it brought, but I don't think I ever rode it a total of five times in its existence. And it's one of the few things I CAN ride in DCA.

For me, it was home to the wonderful Red Car Trolley News Boys show, which I still miss.



RIP Trolley!

Side-note / thought:
Back when the Irvine Spectrum Center was just a glint in Don Bren's eye, Edwards Theaters was planned to be the major anchor, with what was at the time to be one of if not the biggest complex of their empire. Mr. Edwards (aka the Old Man) really wanted to have some sort of train to circle the complex. Obviously he didn't get his wish.

It would be kind of cool if they were to repurpose these trolleys there (and maybe even add more to the fleet). It would add to the atmosphere, and be a fun, occasional use for many people. (It can be a bit of a hike from one end to the other.)

Brings to mind that we have to trek to the Americana to get our trolley fix now.

Have you ever been to a closing? It’s a pretty cool feeling to be with people that care about the parks so much.

Tonight - people will be doing all kinds of crazy things over a silly ball game.
This why is it okay when it comes to sports but when it’s Disney it’s suddenly weird sorry for going off topic had to air a grevince

It's a huge mistake to get rid of attractions like the RCT. It adds a lot of atmosphere to the street.

I'd give up GSS for a RCT barn and run the track past LM. It'll never happen but would make the trolley a true transport across the park.

If any stretch needs the trolley, it's the Performance Corridor.
