A streetcar travels through Portland, Oregon, Thursday, Sept. 30.

Streetcar revival

Fellow multimedia producer John Brecher and I published a story today about the trend of cities across America restarting streetcar lines in hopes of invigorating their downtown cores and connecting neighborhoods. An Oregon company is taking a gamble on being the first American-owned company to make streetcars in over 50 years. Check out the story here.

I like this picture John captured during the assignment, making a beautiful, quiet frame of such an everyday moment.
