As you can see from the photos above (courtesy of DDOT), the streetcars have made their long awaited journey to the states. DDOT is planning a public event for early this year to debut the vehicles....but I didn't think you should have to wait that long. To see more photos of the streetcars, visit DDOT's facebook page. Or if you're as much as a transit geek as me, watch the video below, of the streetcars being unloaded at Port of Baltimore.
