The light rail system in Pittsburgh operates on two basic lines, the Red and the Blue. Port Authority 4233 is one of the original cars from the light rail opening in the mid eighties. The 55 cars were German built Siemens SD400s and were rebuilt by Spanish company CAF twenty years later. The car is emerging from the Mount Washington Transit Tunnel and is about to enter Station Square in July 2010, before crossing the Monongahela river to head downtown.

Port Authority 4305 is one of the 28 CAF cars built in 2003/4 and it is about to enter the Mount Washington Transit Tunnel, which is shared with buses.

A visit to the Pennsylvania Trolley Museum south west of Pittsburgh in July 2011, found this native PCC car, 1711, built by St Louis Car Co in 1949 for Pittsburgh Railways in the sheds. Interestingly the museum is some 25 miles from Pittsburgh and on lines once used by commuters to the city. In the early days these trams used to run through some amazingly rural scenery. The current light rail is based on some former streetcar lines and track beds.
