We can fix that.

I really like grassy trams, by the way. I think they combine a NIMBY's love of lawns and a YIMBY's love of transit.

If I'm honest, I think that incorporating green space into our mass transit is a totally valid way to meet both transit needs and reduce heat island effects.

Shit, you could write a Studio Ghibli story about riding a tram down a meadowed viaduct.

Well, that's about what I have in me for tonight. Hope y'all like trams and grass because I sure as fuck do.

I've got a few flicks of the Leipzig trams and their nice grassy strips on the outskirts, but my phone is fucked because I dropped it while riding bmy bike and drinking a JDs and coke at playing and trying to message someone at the same time. they dont mow them until the early summer flowers are done so the bees can get a good feed in, which is cool.

Tomix makes grassytrack for N scale tram modelers, or you could just make your own but keep it low enough not to snag the tram or block the flangeways

Based St. Charles streetcar line enjoyer. When I rode this as a kid there was something magical about rails in the grass and it still gets my autism tingling.

more like gassy tram once i fart in it

My hometown is lacking in green tram tracks. There's a few areas especially on the ends of the line.

Angers on the other hand is on grass in all places where it doesn't have to shage the road with cars (happens in a few places) or goes through pedestrian areas. It's just grass in a contained central island, not that many areas with trees or other greenery.

I like it, certainly makes a lot of track maintenance and inspection easier. I'd rather have a tree-lined corridor like that with patchy grass than perfect grass but no trees or shrubbery

nice

The St. Charles line in New Orleans has scraggly grass but a lot of magnificent live oak trees along the Garden District of fancy Victorian houses. The “neutral ground” (New Orleans-speak for median) is really wide and lush and the line dates back to the 1830s.

how do the trees not catch fire every time the wind blows

They are being actively kept from getting close enough to the wire to touch them in wind. This added efford is part of why this setup is not common.
Another factor is that trams usually run rather low voltage (600 to 750 V is common, almost always DC too), so arch-gaps remain reasonable. This is mostly done so that if one of the wires comes down, which it will eventually, this is less of a problem than on a proper heavy rail-line.

Warsaw trams have sedum planted instead of grass, does this count?

This line (43 in Łódź) was going from the city to small town Lutomiersk (18km from city centre) and it had a lot of greenery on the route. I miss that route.

>>2052048
I want to say no, but I'd really need more pics of the sedum tram in order to have a strong opinion.

I sure like Warsaw. Great city, great trams, great metro.

Tram 1 to Delft on the Scheveningseweg, on King's Day hence the flags
