We've had Amtrak Patti, but now we have Trolley Tonya! Looks like her left hand is the throttle ( I can hear the notches clicking), and her right hand is the brake. She seems to be a smooth operator. Great video old pal! Cheers, Dan
Jaw Tooth, there was a TV series back in the 1990s called " Tracks Ahead " - it was about model & prototype trains. They did a story on the New Orleans street car system, the trolley was operated by a woman " Conductor ". Some streetcar lines had a second crewman who was the Conductor; the operator was called a " Motor Man ". Motor men also operated electric interurban trains, subway trains, & elevated trains.
Is that the Tampa Aquarium I see peeking thru on the right @ 2:50? riding the Trolley to Ybor (pronounced ee-bow by some of the Locals)... your living the Life, Jawtooth, great video. keep 'em coming & thanx for posting😎👍
Here in New Jersey, they hardly even count as trolleys. They serve the same purpose, but they're made of metal, with the interior of a bus. And the operator sits in a closed room, with signs reminding passengers to leave her alone.
I agree with you Lee. Cincinnati`s look a spaceship. A deserted spaceship at that. After a year or 2 they will be parked unless they start putting in more track that actually goes places people want to go. They need to run a line out to Mason or West Chester so folks can ride it to downtown instead of driving downtown. Because once you have driven there, why in the Hell would you need to ride the streetcar to nowhere?
Gimme some of what you`re smoking son. That thing is losing ridership almost daily. Watch the news and learn a little something. Hell, it wasn`t even running about a week ago because the track is screwed up.
Still trying to decide what the operator's controls do. She adjusted the left one nearly constantly. It must control motor speeds. The right one seems to be a brake. Interesting how smoothly she ran her trolley.
Aww cool video, Brian!.. I've been to Ybor City many times and crossed those very tracks at the mall but never actually got to ride the trolley (or even seen one!).. I def have to put that on my bucket list of train things to do!
Man that was really cool got to Enjoy the worm weather plus riding on the Trolly I hope you got to go to Plant City to catch some cool stuff Keep in mind when I was there it would rain in the After noon but then it would clear up!!
...........If you get more videos with that kind of bright sunshine in them, I will be watching them over and over. Makes me feel good - especially on cloudy days!.......I always greatly prefer videos with bright sunshine in them!
No Safety Measures what so ever, Trolley passes right through downtown without any warning sounds, as you see at 10:30 people clearly ignore the poles as they come down. In California, all of this is illegal.
Really cool old wood inside trolley! How much and how long was the ride? Jaws and Mrs. Did you notice from about 5.00 to 5.08 the reddish looking signal or light down between the rails right at or slightly before the green signal on the left side post?
That red thing says stop on it. The trolleys have to stop there first and then proceed if the signal at the left is green. They have a couple miles of track that go from Ybor City to downtown Tampa. It didn't cost much to ride but today that ride is free. They were trying to get the riders up so they did away with the fees
Oh, now maybe I get it! You might remember from my last comment that I thought you had to come from somewhere south of Ohio, but then those clips that appear at the beginning of your videos might just tell the story. Ironically, I have a first cousin who immigrates to the U.S. many years back. she is now retired bit still lives in Tn.
Actually I live in southern Ohio not far from Kentucky but I go to Florida a lot because my mom lives there and I railfan at Plant City Florida. I'm just now getting ready to drive back to Florida! I was checking my comments before I left. I'm going to the Plant City Florida annual railfan day on Saturday. Thanks for all your comments and for visiting my channel!
What is the difference between this trolley and Cincinnati`s? There are people on it and it actually goes someplace that people want to go. It also looks like it goes out into the neighborhoods where people live so that you don`t have to drive to town just to ride it in a circle. Hell, if I`m going to drive to Cincy, I`ll just go to where I need to go. The thing the numb nuts that run Cincinnati never understood was that no one was going to drive downtown, pay to park their car and then jump on the streetcar to nowhere. They are finding it out now as ridership has plummeted and it is bleeding money just like they were told it was going to do before it was even built.
They are older trolleys that have been rehabbed. We were riding one and some wires started burning on it and they had us evacuate the trolley and wait for another one. lol
Hallooooo Brian an Jackie,nice cabride in the Tampatram uh trolly?yes yes at last,brian is walking on the wooden shoes klompen , no pain on yor feet?lol.i walk everyday with the klompen,wooden shoes.wel Brian an Jackie thanks for the greath video,laterzzzz. greetz:Peerke.
Very cool, but I hope that stupid beer ad is just a wrap, and can be easily pulled off, it really ruins a classic scene. Ads are fine on Nascar, but not on classic trollies.
I thought it was interesting watching her operate the trolley. I recorded the operator controls up close but left them out so the video wouldn't be too long. I could put them in another video. Thanks for watching!
People who live near the railroad crossings complain about the loud noise of the train horns. There is a city called Glendale Ohio that is about to change to a no train horn zone. I just made a video about it recently after talking to the mayor. That will ruin another railfan spot.
I know you're kidding. There are several "street car" loops in Downtown Memphis. Worth your while if you are within a days drive. The operators are very friendly, too.

Live Action!
Great work JT, filmed so well , and the music just builds the atmosphere in-between your commentary , top notch, liked , have a great day :)ms
Have to say, despite the difference between younger Jaw Tooth and the current version, your still doing it right. Great video.

Some streetcar lines had a second crewman who was the Conductor; the operator was called a " Motor Man ". Motor men also operated electric interurban trains, subway trains, & elevated trains.
Wow that teleporting was so Awesome Jaw Tooth!! Cool!! I really enjoyed this video!! It was very nice!! :)

Jawtooth! This is a pretty top notch video! Nice Work!! :)
That's really cool, that car still has the old style controls on it. This car has a lot more personality and class than Cincinnati's.

That is too bad, it used to be better when trolley & interurban lines ran from downtown to residential areas & beyond.
Great video as always Mr. Tooth, you take care now, ya hear!
- Balerio
Beautiful Snow there at the beginning! NICE!
I've been on these replica Birney cars! The people who run this line are very trainspotter friendly and I got some nice photos with the streetcars.
I need me one of them transporters. Excellent video Brian.
Thoroughly enjoyed the trolley "cab ride". Thanks.
Great video Jaw Tooth !

That Cabin looks really cool to check out!!
Nice ! A wonderful day to you dear friend !

Beautiful City and Very Pretty Trolley! I like videos like this!
...........If you get more videos with that kind of bright sunshine in them, I will be watching them over and over. Makes me feel good - especially on cloudy days!.......I always greatly prefer videos with bright sunshine in them!
WOW! 08:04
I like this one. You don't see many cities with actual trolleys anymore. Nice yellow shoes btw; where'd you get um?
Cool video Jaw Tooth...
That's a beautiful urban area, I think!
Nice wooden shoes you got. I am from The Netherlands. Windmills and wooden shoes :)
Awesome! A viewer of mine from The Netherlands sent them to me with a couple military hats also that I wear. I love that stuff!
Very interesting and nice video ! Greetings:) 👍

Everything is illegal in California !
Everything contains chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer.
It's just a tram. A bus is more dangerous.

Great tram ride through town ......Peter
Are those modern trolleys? They still have the old style controls and interior/exterior design.
Should have stayed down there so we'd have warm weather up here ! LOL
10:10 failsafe, not malfunction. the gates will remain open if malfunctioned.

nice-I watched all and i put a like on this too
What gauge the trolly use??? Narrow gauge (1067mm) or normal gauge (1435mm)???
awesome video.
Yeeeeeeee ... I LOVE IT !!!!! SUPER
OK--are these newly-built trolleys? Are they original old ones that were found and rehabilitated?
They are older trolleys that have been rehabbed. We were riding one and some wires started burning on it and they had us evacuate the trolley and wait for another one. lol
Hallooooo Brian an Jackie,nice cabride in the Tampatram uh trolly?yes yes at last,brian is walking on the wooden shoes klompen , no pain on yor feet?lol.i walk everyday with the klompen,wooden shoes.wel Brian an Jackie thanks for the greath video,laterzzzz. greetz:Peerke.
They look like K type controllers or a reproduction of one, and we have a real single truck Birney car from the Sacramento Northern at the WRM
Very cool, but I hope that stupid beer ad is just a wrap, and can be easily pulled off, it really ruins a classic scene. Ads are fine on Nascar, but not on classic trollies.
Nice trolleying & training!
I thought it was interesting watching her operate the trolley. I recorded the operator controls up close but left them out so the video wouldn't be too long. I could put them in another video. Thanks for watching!
Wonderful video,''
Cool video!
nice to see Allen John Smith from milleniumforce there
That trolly as very nice inside
OK, the intro was pretty good, a little dadish but pretty good
Well, I am a grand father you know. lol
I bet it's fun on a trolley what was that handle she pulling and pushing
muito bom!! parabéns!
Thank you!
hey...
I love just outside of Tampa, FL
*live
I love Tampa area. I have friends and family near there. Do you know my friend Alan Smith? He lives just east of Tampa.
lol Brian cool for the Tennessee North Carolina and for Florida
Pretty cool video
thanks for sharing this
You guys were fine, you were in a Lite Beer car??
Awesome !!
Wow!! Outstanding movie, My favorite scene was inside the trolley where the actress portraying Mrs. J.Tooth, looked right at me!!!! Wuuuuuuu!!!
Yes, she completed our actress training course with flying colors and she got the job!
another good one
I hear milleniumforce in the background
Electric trolleys need more smoke.
Lol
why are there no horn zones?thats what i dont understand.
People who live near the railroad crossings complain about the loud noise of the train horns. There is a city called Glendale Ohio that is about to change to a no train horn zone. I just made a video about it recently after talking to the mayor. That will ruin another railfan spot.
Nice!!
how the hell he glitch to all these places
what month is MOORCH?
never heard of it so I don't know.
I hate converting to see this vehicle converted into an advertisement. I think it is demeaning to the passengers.
A FEMALE trolley operator! OMG, what's the world coming to? LOL.
We have plenty in Manchester UK. Loco Engineers too on the Pendolino 125mph Electric trains between Manchester and London.
So?
Derrick Wilson Lol
I know you're kidding. There are several "street car" loops in Downtown Memphis. Worth your while if you are within a days drive. The operators are very friendly, too.
An episode of the train program " Tracks Ahead " from the 1990s shows a trolley in New Orleans with a woman operator.
Miller Light on the trolley?? rather silly ad
