To finish up my impromptu "streetcar weekend", where I checked out old uncovered track, and walked along the old Oregon Electric right of way, we had a family dinner at the Old Spaghetti Factory last night, which of course, has a "streetcar" as its centerpiece.
The first OSF streetcar was actually an old Portland Traction Company "Broadway" car (#809) that rotted in a field for many years. The "restoration" made it look very different to its original form.
It doesn't matter how many times I print this glorious isochrone map of train travel times in 1882 France, it still takes my breath away, especially in this large 42x44" size.
I'm printing some maps for clients tonight, so there's time to get your order in now – sent out via USPS Priority tomorrow morning!
Keeping on the Portland theme, here's a new print in the Transit Maps store that shows Portland Transit Co, lines in 1937 – streetcar, trolleybus and gas bus! A beautiful map, and one that shows the transition from the once-dominant streetcar to buses.

A pair of maps that I've made showing the two electric interurban services that ran south out of Portland, Oregon in the early 20th century. Compiled using historical timetables, they show the Southern Pacific's "Red Electrics" and the competing Oregon Electric lines, with service patterns and schedules shown in detail.
This Wikipedia route diagram of the Alishan Forest Railway in Taiwan shows ALL the spirals.
